The IFC announced a US$ 70m green loan to Çimsa Çimento in Türkiye to support its ambitious decarbonization projects. The loan will help to fund Çimsa’s decarbonization (photo: Mersin cement plant), which include energy efficiency investments, clinker reduction and the installation of large solar systems to achieve 20% renewable energy by 2025. Improvements in waste heat recovery systems and increased use of renewable energy are expected to help Çimsa reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 10%.

Fast Facts about the Global Cement Market
The ‘Fast Facts’ blog covers information that is used in our CCF2Up cement market report. This includes information on the production and consumption, imports and exports (net trade), per capita consumption (PCC), capacity expansion projects, capacity utilization, decarbonisation and other ‘green’ projects.
Information that you will find here has been verified by us (Disclaimer). Latest information comes first. Older information can also be found in the tags.
Argentina’s cement dispatch -26.2% in 10M 2024
In the first 10 months in 2024, Argentina's cement dispatch declined by -26.2% to 7.907 Mt, after 10.715 Mt in the same period last year and 10.884 Mt in the year before.
Armenia’s cement imports +55.5% in 9N 2024
In the first 9 months in 2024, Armenia's cement imports increased by +55.5% to 0.423 Mt, after 0.272 Mt in the same period last year and only 0.102 Mt in the year before.
CRH developed wind farm at Medgidia plant in Romania
CRH has developed a new wind farm to provide renewable electricity to its Medgidia cement plant in Romania. The wind farm is the first of its kind in the country to exclusively power a cement plant. It will meet a significant proportion of the plant’s annual energy requirements, while also contributing to Romania’s clean energy transition. The project commenced in August 2023 and is now fully operational. Consisting of five wind turbines, it has a total installed capacity of about 30 MW and an estimated annual net production of 80 GWh.
Senegal’s cement consumption up +3.3% in 9M 2024
In the first 9 months in 2024, Senegal's cement production increased by +3.3% to 7.005 Mt, after 6.784 Mt in the same period last year and 5.819 Mt in the year before.
Tunisia’s cement consumption -6.1% in 1H 2024
In the first half of 2024, Tunisia's cement consumption (grey cement) declined by -6.1% to 2.599 Mt, after 2.768 Mt in the same period last year.
Dangote’s grinding plant in Côte d’Ivoire nears completion
Dangote’s 2 x 1.5 Mta grinding plant in Yonbon (Abidjan) in Côte d’Ivoire nears completion. Phase1 with 1.5 Mta is almost finished and also Phase2 is making substantial progress. With the successful commissioning of a 0.45 Mta grinding plant in Ghana, Dangote will increase its Pan-African cement capacity from 52.0 to 55.0 Mta in 11 countries. In Nigeria, where already 35.3 Mta cement capacity (photo) are in operation, with the new 6.0 Mta integrated Itori plant in Ogun State (we reported here 27.12.2023), the capacity will be expanded to over 41 Mta. This plant is expected to be operational in 2025/2026.
