Low-emission cement plants

Low-emission cement plants

Up to 40 percent less CO2

Over four billion tons of cement is produced around the world every year. Cement production is an energy-intensive process mainly powered by fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil – with correspondingly high CO2 emissions.

More sustainable with alternative fuels

More sustainable with alternative fuels

We offer a range of technologies and plants that use alternative fuels, such as wood, paper, biomass, residual materials, household waste, bulky refuse, and industrial waste.

These materials can be used to a large extent as a substitute for fossil fuels, increasing the sustainability of our plants, conserving ever scarcer fossil resources, and under ideal conditions reducing direct CO2 emissions from cement production by up to 40 percent.
