This project will not only reduce the facility’s carbon footprint but also increase production capacity.

The Future of Cement Manufacturing

Cimpor, a leading cement manufacturer in Portugal, is taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future. The company’s industrial facility at Souselas, located on the outskirts of Coimbra, is set to undergo a major transformation by 2026. This transformation will not only reduce the facility’s environmental impact but also increase production capacity.

Environmental Initiatives

The reconversion of the second production line for the introduction of calcined clays in cement manufacturing is a key initiative. This project will enable Cimpor to produce cement with a lower carbon footprint. The calcined clays used in this process are a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cement production methods. The use of calcined clays will reduce the facility’s carbon emissions by approximately 30%. The project will also reduce the amount of energy required for production, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions.
