Rwanda: Cimerwa has officially unveiled its new 0.6Mt/yr dry process cement plant. It hopes that the new technology will help it to reduce its production costs and better compete with imported cement from Rwanda's neighbours. The plant previously relied on wet process technology.
Cimerwa has also installed a 15MW peat-powered power plant, which will help it address unreliable electrical supplies that have caused it to suffer high production costs for many years.
