Cemex Egypt launches decarbonisation equipment at Assiut cement plant

Cemex Egypt has inaugurated new decarbonisation equipment at the Assiut cement plant, aligning with its ‘Future in Action’ sustainability strategy. The technology repurposes residual material into energy, incorporating high-efficiency separators and improvements to the calciner process, reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 32kg/t of cement produced, totalling a reduction of 290,000t/yr.

President of Cemex Egypt & UAE, Yago Castro, said “The inauguration of the decarbonisation equipment at the Assiut plant is a testament to our ongoing efforts to create a more sustainable future for our communities and the planet. At Cemex, we are committed to leading climate action in the industry, using the highest alternative fuels substitution rate in the cement industry in Egypt.”
