Considered the ways for improving the efficiency of the furnace systems by increasing the exergy level of natural fuel. Increasing fuel efficiency is made possible by the implementation of the conversion reaction between the primary organic fuel and a water into the new fuel, so-called syngas (a mixture of H2 and CO). Calculations are show the increase of syngas exergy in comparison with the primary fuel. On the example of the burning kiln of cement production, it was done the comparative analysis of the syngas production in the clinker cooler and its use as a primary fuel. The implementation of the natural gas conversion during the clinker heat recovery permit to reduce natural fuel consumption, to increase the energy level of the fuel, the flame temperature and to increase the capacity of the kiln, to reduce emissions of flue gases, and to develop new highly effective cooling equipment.
