Tokyo Cement tackles Sri Lankan cement shortage

10 December 2021

Sri Lanka: Tokyo Cement says it took delivery of a shipment of 12,000t of bagged cement in addition to its regular 30,000t/month at its Colombo cement terminal in early December 2021. The Daily FT newspaper has reported that the company took the measure to help ease a shortage in the Sri Lankan cement market. Its Trincomalee grinding plant continues to operate at full capacity.

The company said “Through these concerted efforts that focus on enhancing local value creation, Tokyo Cement continues to fulfil its national duty by ensuring an uninterrupted supply of cement to meet the requirements of customers across the island, and to firmly establish the company's position as the leading partner in nation-building.”

In November 2021 Tokyo Cement laid the foundations for its upcoming 1Mt/yr Trincomalee cement plant in Eastern Province. The producer now plans to commission the plant in early 2023.

Grayson County administration to take legal advice in fight against Black Mountain cement plant plans

10 December 2021

US: The commissioners of Grayson County in Texas have agreed to take legal advice to try and stop Black Mountain building an integrated cement plant. The Herald Democrat newspaper has reported that the administration plans to launch its claim on the basis of air quality. The city councils of would-be host communities Dorchester and Sherman will contend the plans on the basis of other issues within their respective powers.

Sherman mayor David Plyler says that the plan would interfere with the area’s aim of attracting high-tech industry and investment. District court judge Bill Magers said “The county doesn't normally step into fight city battles, but the county feels that the proposed plant would be bad for the county overall.”

Cemex and Carbon8 Systems partner for carbon capture research

10 December 2021

Mexico/UK: Cemex has partnered with UK-based carbon capture equipment supplier Carbon8 Systems to evaluate possible uses of the supplier’s Accelerated Carbonation Technology (ACT) in the group’s cement production. Operators can use the equipment to produce carbon-infused sustainable materials from thermal residues. Cemex says that one possible application will be in the production of supplementary cementitious materials. Under the partnership, Carbon8 Systems will evaluate a range of Cemex’s byproducts for possible use, beginning at its Rüdersdorf cement plant in Germany and Rugby cement plant in the UK. It will also evaluate the suitability of alternative lightweight aggregates produced using ACT for sale in each market.

Executive vice president sustainability, commercial, and operations development Juan Romero said "This initiative with Carbon8 Systems is another example of the work we are doing with partners across industries, academia, and startups to tap into the latest innovation and disruptive technologies to achieve our ambition of delivering net-zero CO2 concrete globally to all of our customers."
