Jordan: Technology group Wärtsilä will carry out a fuel conversion project on a Wärtsilä engine-based captive power plant serving Qatrana Cement Company's (QCC) cement plant in Karak, reducing emissions and operating costs. The order was booked by Wärtsilä in the first quarter of 2026. The upgrade will also enable the engines to operate on sustainable fuels as and when they become available.
QCC CEO Amer Khatib said "This fuel conversion upgrade will reduce our operating costs and emissions, while relying on proven Wärtsilä technology. Our strong and long-standing partnership with Wärtsilä since 2008 provides a solid basis for delivering the project safely and professionally without disrupting cement production. This project forms part of QCC's broader strategy to increase energy efficiency and sustainability."
