Türkiye: KHD will install a Pyrorotor alternative fuel system at the Batisöke Söke Çimento Sanayii cement plant in Söke. The project began in February 2026 and includes supply of the Pyrorotor unit, spare parts and supervision of erection and commissioning.
KHD CEO Matthias Jochem said “This order confirms the growing momentum for decarbonising cement production in the important Turkish market. We are delighted to be working with Batisöke Söke Çimento Sanayii on this project. The company’s investment is a clear statement of its commitment to increasing the use of alternative fuels and reducing its carbon footprint. We look forward to supporting them on that journey.”
KHD said that the Pyrorotor technology enables plants to use low-quality locally available fuels with no preprocessing, including plastics, biomass and tyre chips. The company has sold 21 Pyrorotor installations worldwide, including in Cambodia, China, Portugal, South Korea, Thailand and Türkiye.
Jochem said “This latest order reinforces our commitment to Türkiye’s cement sector at a time when the industry faces increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel flexibility. The Pyrorotor is proven to deliver on exactly these challenges, and we look forward to demonstrating that once again in Söke.”
