Singapore/Türkiye: Singapore-based clean energy startup SunGreen said it has completed its first 1MW anion exchange membrane (AEM) hydrogen electrolyser partnership with Turkish cement producer Limak Cement after six months of real-world testing. The project brought the company’s nanostructured electrode technology from single-cell performance to industrial-scale multi-cell stacks. SunGreen was involved as a technology partner, while Limak contributed engineering expertise. Testing took place between March and August 2026 and demonstrated low-cost hydrogen production, according to SunGreen.

US: Pakistan-based DG Khan Cement despatched 43,000t of low-alkali cement from his Hub cement plant to Houston, US, on 29 September 2026.

Armenia: Cement was available in only two building supply stores in Yerevan on 30 September 2026, according to Arme News. One of these stores is supplied by Ararat Cement, which partially resumed deliveries on 29 September 2026 after being suspended more than two weeks previously. The owner of another building supply store imports cement from Iran, deliveries of which have reportedly been ‘problematic,’ with hundreds of trucks carrying cement stuck at the border crossing between Iran and Armenia. Other local business owners have blamed Iranian suppliers for the shortage. Armenia’s ambassador to Iran reportedly met recently with Iranian vice president Hamid Pourmohammadi to discuss the ‘obstacles’ to the flow of goods between the two countries and how to ‘overcome’ them.

US: SESCO Cement has welcomed the first two ships carrying bulk grey cement to its import terminal at Port Redwing in Tampa, marking the start of full commercial operations. The ships’ arrival comes after the company celebrated the terminal’s opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony in June 2026. Each vessel will make a partial discharge at the terminal before continuing to SESCO’s Houston terminal to complete delivery. The dual-port route links the company’s Florida and Texas operations and gives the company added capacity and flexibility to meet demand. The terminal features a custom-designed ship unloader and conveyor system, which moves bulk cement from the ship’s hold directly into SESCO’s storage silos. The unloader arrived in Tampa earlier in 2026 after nearly two years of engineering work.
