ResourceCo Asia brings to Asia the concept of alternative fuels for the manufacture of cement. As one of worlds highest emitting industries, cement is typically manufactured by burning its constituent raw materials (limestone, silica, clay, and iron ore) in a kiln fueled by coal at temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees Celsius. This consumes vast amounts of natural resources and produces huge volumes of CO2. ResourceCo Asia offers cement plants a source of fuel that is alternative to coal - fuel made from waste. At ResourceCo Asia industrial and commercial waste is recycled into alternative fuel that helps reduce landfilled and incinerated waste and reduce energy costs for cement plants. The company has operations across Australia and in Malaysia. ReadyVentures involvement: Early stage investment, director led management support , financial control, M&A support and eventual exit.
