Holcim Romania inaugurates WHR project

Holcim Romania has inaugurated a EUR15m new waste heat recovery investment at its Alesd plant which is set to meet around 15 per cent of the plant’s electricity needs.

“The investment we are inaugurating today at our plant in Alesd is part of Holcim Romania’s consistent efforts to reduce the consumption of energy and natural resources by implementing the best available technology in the field,” Daniel Bach, general director Holcim Romania, said.

Despite a difficult trading environment, the company has continued to implement sustainable development projects and with this WHR installation, investments at the Alesd plant have reached EUR178m, Mr Bach added.
