Türkiye’s Oyak Cement commissioned Beypazan project
Oyak Cement has commissioned the Ankara Beypazan (GES) solar power plant in Türkiye. The power plant consists of 210,000 solar planes, built on an area od 1.5 million m2 with an annual clean energy production of 182,000 MWh. This is equivalent to the carbon absorption of about 3.9 million trees. The new facility increases the company`s `renewable energy share to 25% to support the company`s net-zero goals.
Saudi Arabia’s cement exports down -14.2% in 03M 2026
In the first 3 months in 2026, Saudi Arabia’s cement exports decreased by -14.2% to 0.350 Mt, after 0.408 Mt in the same period last year and 0.373 Mt in the year before.
Saudi Arabia’s cement dispatch down -4.7% in 03M 2026
In the first 3 months in 2026, Saudi Arabia’s cement dispatch (local dispatch and exports) decreased by -4.7% to 12.760 Mt, after 13.393 Mt in the same period last year and 12.590 Mt in the year before.
KHD achieved excellent results with HPGR in India
Hirma Cement works of UltraTech in India installed an HPGR (roller press) by KHD Humboldt Wedag for pre-grinding of PCC with high slag content. The roller press has HCB (High Chrome Bandage) rollers, which after 3500 running hours still performs like day one with a superior material grip. Normal hardfacing rollers typically require profiling after just 7000 to 1000 hours due to the high wear of the grinding material. This leads to a rapid productivity loss and increased downtime, which can be widely reduced with the new HCB rollers.
