US: Buzzi Unicem subsidiary Alamo Cement Company has successfully commissioned its new 17,800MWh solar power plant at its San Antonio cement plant in Texas. The producer says that the facility will eliminate 8000t/yr-worth of CO₂ emissions from the plant's operations. It spans an area of 18.2 hectares at the site of the 1.1Mt/yr cement plant. Texas-based energy provider CPS Energy built the installation.

Alamo Cement's director of engineering and construction management William Kovacs said "I am incredibly proud of the multi-discipline work that went into this first-of-its-kind project for Alamo Cement in San Antonio. It is an example of the type of collaboration necessary to continue to unlock and apply new energy sources for cement producers. It was a collective effort that brought together our corporate team, CPS Energy and regional engineering firms and contractors."
