Capsol Technologies installed its CapsolGo® unit at the Akmenes cement plant of the Schwenk Group in Lithuania (Baltic States). The demonstration unit will provide carbon capture (CC) data using Capsol’s HPC-based CapsolEoP® (End-of-the-Pipe) technology which shall offer lower energy consumption with higher CO2 concentration than competitive technologies. The same unit will be used alternately also at the Broceni cement plant (photo) of the Schwenk Group in Latvia, following an earlier feasibility study at the two plants (we reported here 16.08.2024). The demonstration period will be from Q4 2024 to Q4 2025.
This is a sample of the Vietnam Data of April 2023.

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.
China’s cement production down -10.5% in 11M 2024
In the first 11 months in 2024, China's cement production declined by -10.5% to 1670.68 Mt, after 1867.35 Mt in the same period last year and 1.950.10 Mt in the year before.
Senegal’s cement production up 2.6% in 10M 2024
In the first 10 months in 2024, Senegal's cement production increased by +2.6% to 7.58 Mt, after 7.39 Mt in the same period last year and 6.25 Mt in the year before.
KHD Group to supply Oxyfuel kiln at Geseke in Germany
The KHD Group will be carrying out a FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) study for the new Oxyfuel kiln at Heidelberg Materials’ Geseke cement plant in Germany. The contract is part of the planning phase of the GeZero CCS project, which aims to capture over 0.7 Mta CO2. Supported by the EU Innovation Fund, the captured CO2 will be purified and liquefied on-site before the transport to the North Sea for permanent geological storage (we reported here 09.12.2024 and 18.12.2023). The plant planning is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with construction scheduled to start in 2026.
Kazakhstan’s cement production -0.9% in 11M 2024
In the first 11 months in 2024, Kazakhstan's cement production declined by -0.9% to 11.466 Mt, after 11.576 Mt in the same period last year and 11.625 Mt in the year before.
Ukraine’s cement exports up +34.8% in 11M 2024
In the first 11 months in 2024, Ukraine's cement exports increased by +34.8% to 1.686 Mt, after 1.2518 Mt in the same period last year and 1.001 Mt in the year before.
India’s Ambuja commissions 200 MW solar unit in Khavda
India’s Ambuja Cement has successfully commissioned and started power transmission from its 200 MW solar power project in Khavda. The unit is phase 1 of a 1000 MW renewable power project of the company, which aims to achieve 60% of the electricity consumption from green power and to decarbonize the value chain by FY 2028. Green power will positively impact the Company’s EBITDA with impressive 70% savings compared to current power costs. The 1 GW of renewable energy is a mix of solar and wind energy, along with 376 MW of waste heat recovery systems (WHRS) from the cement plants.
