Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional to acquire Holcim’s Brazilian cement business

10 September 2021

Brazil: Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) has agreed to acquire Switzerland-based Holcim’s Brazilian cement business for US$1.03bn. The business’ assets include five integrated cement plants, four grinding plants and 19 ready-mix concrete facilities. Holcim said that the deal strengthens its balance sheet by ‘significantly’ reducing its debt ratio. It will use the proceeds to invest in its solutions and products business, building its recently acquired subsidiary Firestone. Latin America remains a core strategic growth region, according to the company.

Cheif executive officer Jan Jenisch said “This divestment is another step in our transformation to become the global leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions, giving us the flexibility to continue investing in attractive growth opportunities. We are pleased to have found a responsible buyer with CSN that will develop the Brazilian business over the long term.”

Sustainable Energy Solutions partners with FLSmidth for Cryogenic Carbon Capture system adaptation and commercialisation

10 September 2021

US/Denmark: Chart Industries subsidiary Sustainable Energy Solutions has chosen FLSmidth to help adapt and commercialise its Cryogenic Carbon Capture carbon capture and storage (CCS) system for the global cement industry. The system captures and stores CO2 from flue gas as a liquid. FLSmidth says that it will use its global reach and process knowledge to accelerate the commercialisation of Cryogenic Carbon Capture and optimise its design for cement plants. It believes the technology can cut 90% of process CO2 emissions at half the cost and energy consumption of current CCS processes.

FLSmidth cement president Carsten Riisberg Lund said “The cement industry is pursuing all options to reduce its environmental footprint, and CCS is a necessary technology to achieve this goal. Through this agreement with Chart, we lay the foundation for the scale-up and deployment of Cryogenic Carbon Capture technology with our customers. The technology developed by Chart is expected to become the most competitive at scale.” He added “This agreement is a significant leap forward in our joint efforts to enable our customers to reduce their environmental footprint.”

German Cement Works Association calls for reliable framework conditions for climate neutral cement production by 2050

10 September 2021

Germany: The German Cement Works Association (VDZ) has lobbied national and European Union governments for ‘appropriate and reliable’ framework conditions for the industry’s to realise its sustainability objectives. Its Environmental Data of the German Cement Industry 2020 report set out the sector’s agenda under three overlapping headings: climate neutrality by 2050, preservation of primary raw materials and air pollution control. The VDZ said that government support for the necessary ‘unprecedented’ reduction in CO2 emissions will be especially vital in the area of renewable power and the creation of a functioning CO2 infrastructure.

VDZ president Christian Knell said “The often bureaucratic and complex processes involved in approval procedures and applications for funds to finance necessary investments are a cause for concern.”
