Réunion (France): Teralta Ciments Réunion, the leading cement manufacturer in Réunion and a subsidiary of France’s Audemard Group, has inaugurated the first cement blending plant in the French overseas territory Réunion, with technical support from Swiss-based consulting firm QUADRA Trading. Located in Le Port, the industrial unit has an annual production capacity of over 0.2Mt/yr.
The project is intended to supply the market in Réunion with cements that have a CO2 reduction of more than 65% while promoting the use of local materials. The first product manufactured by the plant is CEM II/B-V 32.5N CE NF cement, which has a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to standard blends. Other cements to be produced at the site will use pozzolan and components from the circular economy including recycled concrete.
