  • Abstract
    The review of this innovative sustainability project provides a primer for those considering similar projects. It provides insight to the wind generation industry and its application to the cement industry through a detailed case study of a completed project (Figure 7). This project clearly demonstrates the challenges of such an endeavor and the resulting innovations that made it successful. Finally, it is a shining example that sustainability efforts in their best form are not necessarily an added business expense but can realize a more sustainable and profitable business model.
