China: Huaxin Cement emitted 1.4Mt of CO2 equivalent in 2018. About 60% of this came from process emissions from making clinker and about 30% came from burning fossil fuels. Additional emissions arose from electrical consumption.
The cement producer says that it implemented a variety of emission control and sustainability initiatives in 2018. These included improving its energy saving management, rollout of waste-heat recovery systems and other plant upgrades. It is also promoting so-called ‘green’ products. In January 2019 its Huaxin Fortune brand 42.5R grade Ordinary Portland Cement obtained low carbon product certification from the China Quality Certification Center.
