Yemen: Local authorities in Hadramout have inaugurated the country’s first solar facility at Arabian Yemen Cement’s cement plant, a US$11m project aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels and stabilising electricity supply. The facility integrates solar energy into cement production, with a system designed to manage the high loads required by crushers, mills and kilns, enabling uninterrupted operations. Officials described the project as a breakthrough for Yemen, which has struggled with energy shortages and rising fuel prices.
