Sweden: Cementa, subsidiary of HeidelbergCement, and Vattenfall are conducting a pilot study on electrified cement production to attempt to reach zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. The intention of the CemZero project is to supply power to cement plants from a so-called ‘climate smart Swedish energy system.’

"Electrification within the industry is an important element in the transition to sustainable urban development. We are now going to develop knowledge within the field in order to ascertain together with Vattenfall whether it is a potential future solution for cement production," says Jan Gånge, chief executive officer (CEO) of Cementa.
