New contract signed with Rohrdorfer Zement for the supply of a new clay calcination unit in Germany
On April 29th, 2024, Rohrdorfer Zement and Fives FCB signed a contract for the supply of a 50 tpd clay calcination unit to be implemented on EPC basis at Rohrdorf plant in Bavaria, Germany.
This clay calcination unit will be integrated within the clinker production line. Rohrdorfer Zement will test various clay sources and qualities with the ultimate goal of reducing CO2 emissions, targeting net zero emissions in 2038.
Reducing the proportion of clinker in cement - notably by using fired clay - can cut CO2 emissions in the cement production process by 40%, making clinker substitution one of the most important levers for decarbonizing cement.
