To support Egypt’s national emissions strategies to 2050, domestic cement producer Suez Cement Group is preparing to launch the domestic cement industry’s first waste heat recovery (WHR) facility in 2023. The move is part of a series of initiatives to introduce alternative energy sources, while maximising operating efficiency to reduce the sector’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The project is supported by parent company HeidelbergCement’s “Race to Zero Waste” initiative.
