The Government of South Australia will provide a AUD12m loan to the Hallett Group to back a green cement transformation project (GCTP). Hallett is the largest integrated supplier of building, construction and mining materials in South Australia, operating a fleet of 100 RMC trucks (photo), and supplying about 500,000m3 concrete per year. The project consists of two infrastructure hubs, at Port Augusta and Port Adelaide, where about 30 Mta fly ash from Port Augusta’s Northern Power station ash dam and waste products from the Nyrstar Port Pirie smelter can be harvested and reused over a period of 20 years as green cement. The GCTP project will reduce Australian CO2 emissions by 0.3 Mta immediately after startup, growing to about 1 Mta the following years by using the SCM products as a substitute for clinker in the cement and concrete production.
