Cimpor, a historic Portuguese company, welcomed the Minister of Economy, Pedro Reis, to present its ambitious decarbonisation plan at the Alhandra Production Centre. The EUR360m investment plan, already in progress at Alhandra, Souselas, and Loulé plants, aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This strategic initiative positions Cimpor as a pioneer in environmentally sustainable practices within the cement sector. Key projects involve transitioning from fossil fuels to waste-derived and renewable fuels, enhancing energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy production and storage, and developing low-carbon cements using calcined clays. The Alhandra Production Centre stands out as the most advanced unit in implementing these initiatives. With investments in hydrogen, renewable energy, and energy storage systems, Cimpor expects to reduce emissions by 190,000tpa of CO2 and save 16GWh of energy annually, increasing self-consumption from renewable sources to 84GWh per year. Other Cimpor plants across Portugal are also progressing towards carbon neutrality; Souselas plant is focusing on producing calcined clays to reduce CO2 emissions. Overall, Cimpor's plan signifies a significant step towards sustainability and innovation in the cement industry.
