Belarus: The country’s cement sector is intensifying efforts to use refuse-derived fuel (RDF) in cement production, according to the state information agency Belarus Telegraph Agency.
Belarusian Cement Company introduced an RDF processing line in 2021 at OAO Krasnoselskstroymaterialy in Grodno Oblast, enabling full incineration of RDF supplied by local waste-processing plants. Contracts are reportedly already in place with RDF suppliers for 25,000t of the fuel to be delivered by the end of 2025.
In September 2025, industrial trials of RDF made by Minsk-based Ekores will begin. If successful, shipments from the company could double from 15,000t to 30,000t, raising total RDF use to 40,000t in the final quarter of 2025.
Plans are also underway to expand RDF infrastructure in 2026, with a regional municipal waste management and RDF production complex under construction near Volkovysk.
