Spain: Mexico-based Cemex subsidiary Cemex España has announced plans to resume activity at its Lloseta cement plant in Majorca at a limited production level. The UltimaHora newspaper has reported that the company will employ the staff who stayed on for maintenance purposes from the plant’s January 2019 closure. After suspending activity at the plant the company had until mid-April 2021 to inform the local government of its plans for the site.
Cemex is in the process of establishing a green hydrogen plant at Lloseta with a Euro10m EU grant. It said, "We do not rule out that in the future the cement plant may adapt and become an industrial benchmark in the use of green hydrogen for the production of cement with a low carbon footprint."
