Austria: Alpacem Gruppe subsidiary w&p Zement plans to eradicate 20,000t/yr of CO₂ emissions by substituting 100% alternative fuel (AF) in its regular operations, up from 80%. The producer will co-process 122,000t/yr of AF, up by 26% from 97,400t/yr at present.

Technical director Florian Salzer said “A key factor in achieving climate neutral cement production is reducing the use of fossil fuels. We are already using AF instead of coal. As a result, substances that cannot be used for any other purpose, such as material recycling, are converted into energy."
