The volume of clinker production decreased by 78.1 % YoY, down to 34,900 tons. The reason for this was that Estonia ceased clinker production. In March this year it became known that Estonian Kunda Nordic plant — the only cement producer in the country — ceased clinker production due to the rising cost of quotas for CO2 emissions in the European Union.
