Suez Cement, a subsidiary of Heidelberg Materials, has spent US$16 million since 2010 updating its operations to use more alternative fuels (AF). All three of the producer’s cement plants—in Helwan, Kattameya, and Suez—have AF burners and kilns. During the same time period, Suez Cement invested US$60 million in dust management strategies. One other ongoing investment is the US$25 million waste heat recovery (WHR) plant being built at the Helwan cement factory. Between 2019 and 2030, the corporation aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 24 per cent.
Technical director Omar Khorshid said “We are committed to pursue initiatives to broaden our range of innovative and eco-friendly building solutions, advance operational efficiency through digitalisation and strengthen customer engagement for better business results and more positive impact.”
