France: F Scott, a French group based in Switzerland, is set to construct a new grinding plant in Montoir-de-Bretagne, Loire-Atlantique, by 2027. The €55m investment is expected to create 50 jobs, according to API agency. The plant will import 300,000t/yr of blast furnace slag and a similar amount of clinker by ship, with plans to potentially switch to calcined clay for producing low-carbon cement. F Scott's proposal was approved in mid-late 2023 following a call for expressions of interest by the major maritime port of Nantes-Saint-Nazaire for a bulk products storage and industrial processing unit.
