Argentina’s cement dispatch down -3.7 in 04M 2026
In the first 4 months in 2026, Argentina’s cement dispatch (local and exports) decreased by -3.7% to 3.058 Mt, after 3.177 Mt in the same period last year and 2.768 Mt in the year before.
French Fives FCB and NOC Energy partner in decarbonisation
French company Fives FCB and US start-up NOC Energy joined forces to accelerate smarter energy use and the decarbonisation of the cement industry. By integrating NOC Energy’s clean heat technology, NOC Cell™, of which one single module (currently 10 MW) can avoid up to 20,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, on Fives FCB clay calcination pilot plant, the two partners are exploring a technology demonstration and new pathway for the decarbonization of high-temperature thermal processes in the cement industry. The NOC modular thermal battery cell (photo: close-up image) is capable of converting renewable electricity into clean industrial heat at very high temperatures, of 700 to 1,500 °C, which makes it applicable for calcination processes.
T+T’s cement production -11.9% in 1Q 2026
In the 1Q in 2026, T+T’s (Trinidad + Tobago’s) cement production decreased by -11.9% to 0.160 Mt, after 0.181 Mt in the same period last year and 0.145 Mt in the year before.
Colombia’s cement exports down -28.3% in 1Q 2026
In the 1Q in 2026, Colombia’s cement exports decreased by -28.3% YoY to 0.193 Mt, after 0.269 Mt in the same period last year and 0.344 Mt in the year before.
Cambodia invited HUAXIN to increase investments
The Cambodia Cement Chakrey Ting Factory, established in 1961 as the country's first cement plant, has been modernized and expanded in 2012 by Huaxin from China into an integrated industrial park. At a plant visit (photo), HE Hem Vanndy of the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) encouraged Huaxin to expand investment, strengthen competitiveness, and explore new opportunities in construction materials and exports. In a first step Huaxin requested MISTI's support to promote the use of locally produced packaging bags, and announced plans to soon introduce new products for the domestic market to help reduce reliance on imports.
Colombia’s cement production up +3.9% in 1Q 2026
In the 1Q in 2026, Colombia’s cement production increased by +3.9% YoY to 3.319 Mt, after 3.196 Mt in the same period last year and 3.229 Mt in the year before.
