Brazil: Secil subsidiary Supremo Secil Cimentos will invest US$20.3m in an upcoming expansion of its Adrianópolis cement plant. Commencing in July 2024, the expansion will raise the plant’s clinker capacity by 10% and enable it to increase its alternative fuel (AF) substitution rate from 25 – 30% to 40%, and eventually to 50% by 2030. To date, AF use at the plant has reduced its cumulative consumption of petcoke by 100,000t.

CEO Paulo Nascentes highlighted the transformative impact of the Adrianópolis plant on its host community, with its initial investment of US$176m and a subsequent US$41.7m in previous upgrades to date. "One of the reasons why the Paraná government allowed the plant was because Adrianópolis was very neglected. The arrival of Supremo transformed the city," he said.

Brazil: Votorantim Cimentos is ready to start co-processing 400t/month of solid waste at its Rio Branco do Sul plant in Parana. The project has been approved by IAP, the state environmental institute, and is being run in conjunction with the local authorities, according to the Parana Portal. The initiative was started August 2018 with agreement between Votorantim Cimentos, Itambe and Supremo.
