Holcim received a grant for Koromacno plant in Croatia
Holcim Croatia, part of building materials producer Holcim, announced that EU Innovation Fund will co-finance its 237 million euro (US$266 million) decarbonisaton project. The KODeCo net zero CO2 project will capture and store about 360000 tons CO2 annually from the cement plant, which shall be operational in 2028.
CCUS project by Titan Group received grant by EU Fund
The EU Commission has selected the IFESTOS CCUS project by the Titan Cement Group in their 3rd call for large-scale projects under the EU Innovation Fund. According to the project application the Kamari cement plant will be retrofitted with state-of-the-art carbon capture technologies. Subject to regulation and permits, this can result in an absolute annual GHG emissions avoidance of more than 1.9 million tons of CO2, making the plant one of the largest carbon capture facilities in Europe.
1.H 2023 Cement production in Panama up by +7.0%
Panama has a small cement industry. Anyhow, in the first half of 2023 to cement production has been up, by +7.0%, from 0.710 Mt in first half 2022 to 0.760 Mt in first half of 2023. The cement exports declined in the same period by -14.4% from 0.111 Mt to 0.095 Mt.
First fully decarbonized cement project in Germany
Heidelberg Materials’ newly launched GeZero carbon capture and storage (CCS) project will fully decarbonise cement production at the company’s Geseke plant in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The CCS project is supported by the EU Innovation Fund and aims to capture 700,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually from 2029. As the facility also captures emissions from biomass substituting fossil fuels, Geseke will be one of the first European cement plants able to produce fully decarbonised cement and clinker. Construction of the facility will start in 2026, and commissioning is planned for 2029.
Cement production in Malaysia increased in 4M 2023
In Malaysia in the first 4 month of 2023, the cement production increased by +1.1% to 8.821 Mt from 8.723 Mt in the first 4 month (Jan-Apr) 2022.
Strategic investment at Sococim, Senegal, is on track
The strategic investment by the VICAT Group is on track. The new 6500 tpd kiln line at the Rufisque cement plant in Senegal will be commissioned in the year 2024 by Fives FCB. The new line no. 6 will feature Fives’ latest technologies in pyro-process technology and gas treatment
