Spain/Mexico: Waste to Energy Advanced Solutions (WtEnergy), in collaboration with Cemex Ventures, has received the support a €4.4m EU Innovation Fund grant that aims to develop its advanced waste-to-fuel conversion technology. The companies say that the financial backing highlights the potential of the solution as a clean and scalable energy alternative for the cement industry.
WtEnergy’s technology upgrades waste into low-CO2 syngas, clean hydrogen and other bioproducts. It will help to accelerate the integration of clean energy sources into Cemex’s global clinker and cement manufacturing operations.
WtEnergy has separately received funding under the EU Horizon Europe HYIELD Project, which was recently awarded a €10m grant by Horizon Europe to develop hydrogen fuels at Cemex’s Alcanar cement plant in Spain.
