Cemex and Synhelion make further progress toward the world’s first fully solar-powered cement plant
Cemex and Synhelion announced today a significant milestone in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production: the scaling of their technology to industrially-viable levels.
- Cemex and Synhelion announced today a significant milestone in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production: the scaling of their technology to industrially-viable levels.
- This includes the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement manufacturing, using only solar heat.
- Cemex and Synhelion will now take further steps toward building a solar-driven industrial-scale pilot cement plant.
- “I am convinced we are getting closer to the technologies that will enable net-zero CO2 cement and concrete production,” said Fernando A. González, CEO of Cemex.
