Mexico/Switzerland: Cemex and industrial solar heat specialist Synhelion have achieved constant clinker production on an industrially viable scale using only solar heat. The partners say that this confirms the technology's potential for industrial-scale implementation.
Cemex chief executive officer Fernando A González said “I am convinced we are getting closer to the technologies that will enable net-zero CO2 cement and concrete production. The solid progress I see here proves that solar cement is not just a dream: it is achievable through continued collaboration, and backed up by rigorous research and testing.”
