Ecocem to invest €170m in four ACT cement production lines

21 May 2025

France: Ecocem will invest €170m to build four new production lines for its ACT low-carbon cement technology in Fos-sur-Mer and Dunkirk. This follows a €50m investment at Ecocem’s Dunkirk facility to deliver its first production line. The additional manufacturing capacity will come online between 2028 and 2030. At full capacity, ACT production in France will reach 1.9Mt/yr, reducing CO2 emissions by 800,000t/yr and creating 60 jobs. The French government has reportedly committed to working closely with Ecocem to identify operational and financial solutions to accelerate and deliver the expansion.

Heidelberg Materials and CBI Ghana commission calcined clay plant

19 May 2025

Ghana: CBI Ghana and joint venture partner Heidelberg Materials have commissioned the ‘world’s largest’ calcined clay plant in Ghana, according to an announcement by the German producer. The plant has a capacity of 400,000t/yr of calcined clay and uses local raw materials to reduce reliance on imported clinker.

Hakan Gurdal, member of the managing board of Heidelberg Materials, said “Based on calcined clay technology, we can now extend our offering of innovative, high-quality cement products, while reducing CO₂ emissions and utilising the rich local resources. The project has created over 300 local jobs."

Spanish cement producer to integrate hydrogen into cement production process

09 May 2025

Spain: A local cement manufacturer will integrate ‘green’ hydrogen into its production process using a 2MW Neptune II electrolyser from Uk-based supplier ITM Power, according to H2 View news. The electrolyser will supply hydrogen to be co-fired with natural gas in the cement kiln, expected to reduce CO₂ emissions. The method was previously demonstrated in 2021, when Hanson UK (now Heidelberg Materials) and MPA trialled hydrogen co-firing in cement production. It will be the first time that ITM has deployed the system in the cement industry.

Raysut Cement to launch Oman's first WHR facility with Sinoma Overseas

28 April 2025

Oman: Raysut Cement is reactivating a partnership with China's Sinoma Overseas Development to launch Oman's first waste heat recovery (WHR) power plant at its Salalah site, according to the Oman Daily Observer. The groundwork for the 9MW facility was originally laid in 2018. Once operational, the facility is expected to reduce the plant’s reliance on national grid power by up to 30% and reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 50,000t/yr. Engineering design and site preparations are expected to be revisited before the end of 2025.

India releases draft notification for greenhouse gas emissions targets

23 April 2025

India: The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has issued a draft notification to establish India’s first compliance-based carbon market, according to The New Indian Express. The draft covers heavy industries such as cement, and lists 186 cement plants belonging to Ultratech Cement, Ambuja Cement, Dalmia Cement and others. These plants must cut greenhouse gas emission intensity (GEI) for two years, starting from the 2025–26 financial year under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme 2023. Non-compliant producers must purchase carbon credit certificates, or failing this, face penalties from the Central Pollution Control Board. The draft will be finalised following a 60-day public consultation.

Holcim launches Eco2Fly carbon capture project

09 April 2025

Spain: Holcim, IGNIS P2X and Exolum have launched Eco2fly, a project to convert industrial CO₂ emissions into sustainable aviation fuel at Holcim’s Villaluenga de la Sagra plant in Toledo. The facility will capture over 700,000t/yr of CO₂ from the plant’s cement production process and convert it into 100,000t/yr of sustainable aviation fuel using ‘green’ hydrogen. The remaining CO₂ will be stored in geological repositories. Over its first 10 years, the project will reportedly avoid more than 6.5Mt of CO₂ emissions.

Medcem completes testing of WHR facility

07 April 2025

Türkiye: Medcem has completed testing of its new waste heat recovery (WHR) facility, which will recover 25% of the energy demand of the plant’s second rotary kiln line commissioned in 2024.

The 9.6MW facility uses an organic rankine cycle (ORC) system to generate electricity from a single heat source. The company says that this will lead to significant cost savings in energy expenses while also reducing CO₂ emissions.

Vietnam to allocate emissions quotas to cement and other sectors

03 April 2025

Vietnam: The government will allocate greenhouse gas emissions quotas to 150 facilities across the cement, thermal power and steel sectors, according to a draft decree discussed by the government. Under the proposed roadmap, quota allocation will be implemented in phases over the next five years.

These sectors account for 40% of national emissions, according to the Vietnam Investment Review, and are also subject to the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism. The draft decree proposes decentralised development of technical regulations and mutual recognition of carbon credit data with international partners. Quotas will be proposed annually by ministries and submitted to the prime minister for approval.

 Deputy prime minister Tran Hong Ha said “This is a technical decree with many variables. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will provide a controlled framework and guiding principles using a ‘sandbox’ approach, allowing businesses to experiment while regulators monitor, evaluate and make adjustments.”

Ecocem and Titan Group to partner for low-carbon cement

02 April 2025

Greece: Ecocem has signed a partnership agreement with Titan Group to co-develop and deliver low-carbon cements using Ecocem’s ACT technology. The collaboration will initially target the Greek market, replacing a portion of clinker with locally sourced supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to reduce cement CO₂ emissions by up to 70%.

Group managing director Donal O’Riain said “Signing this co-development and technology transfer agreement with a partner of Titan Group’s size and calibre is a real demonstration of confidence in our ACT technology. This partnership has the potential to accelerate the use of a range of SCMs with ACT technology and deliver rapid and low-cost decarbonisation of the cement industry globally.”
