This is the next stage of decarbonization of cement, commercial concrete and reinforced concrete products

CEMARK achieved a reduction in CO2 emissions to 578 kg/t and increased the use of alternative fuels to 19.4%.

The organization, which unites Mykolaivcement, Kamianets-Podilskyi and Odesa cement plants and is part of the CRH Group, announced this on Facebook.

CEMARK enterprises implement innovations that have helped them reduce the clinker content in cement to 71.3%. According to company representatives, this indicator is a significant improvement compared to 2021.

"This is a big step in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions, which helps reduce our impact on the environment," says the manufacturer.

He says that the specific CO2 emission figure of 578 kg/t of cement is significantly lower than in 2021.

The company reported that such a result was achieved thanks to constant work on the introduction of alternative types of fuel and optimization of technologies.
