The goal with this investment is to reduce CO2emissions, contribute to the waste management solutions in Attiki, and increase the plant’s competitiveness.
TITAN Group is investing in the upgrade of the cement production line at its plant in Kamari, Viotia, Greece. The project concerns the installation of a pre-calciner, has a total budget of over €25 million and will be completed in 2022. The investment is part of the Group’s program of actions to reduce CO2emissions, contributing to the mitigation of climate change and the European 2030 goal to decrease its GHG emissions by 55%.
The upgrade will significantly increase the capacity of Kamari plant for using alternative fuels, substituting large part of fossil fuels necessary for the operation of its kilns. The result of the investment will be total annual reduction in CO2 emissions to 450,000 t., which equals to replacing 160,000 conventional cars with electric vehicles. Alternative fuels used by the cement industry can include, among others, residue from recycling of urban solid waste.
An additional benefit of the investment in the Kamari plant, which is located on the Attiki-Viotia border, is the potential for the plant to contribute to a comprehensive, optimal environmental and financial solution to waste management in Attiki.
“We believe in the recovery of the Greek economy, and especially in the construction sector. For this reason, we are investing in our plants, improving their environmental footprint and international competitiveness,” said Angelos Kalogerakos, the TITAN Group’s General Manager for Greece.
