CEMEX has reached an agreement with Chinese Sinoma Energy
Conservation Ltd. to build a waste heat-to-energy (WHTE)
facility. The facility will be placed in Solid Cement
plant in Antipolo city in the Philippines, and will have
the capacity to capture the cement plant's excess heat to
produce usable electricity.
Under the contract signed in Beijing, China, Sinoma agreed
to design, build, operate and manage the 6-Megawatt power
plant. The facility is expected to mitigate the negative
effects of power service interruptions, help reduce
dependence to high-cost power sources, and reduce the
plant's carbon footprint.
"CEMEX is innovating ways to reduce operational costs,
increase efficiency, and continue reducing our carbon
footprint. This project is one of many that solidify our
commitment to sustainable development," says Joaquin
Estrada, President of CEMEX Asia.
CEMEX continuously seeks to improve its performance as an
efficient, agile, and innovative company by identifying,
sharing, and implementing best practices across its global
network of plants and facilities. The company's
industry-best processes allow it to satisfy the needs of
its customers while using the optimal amount of resources,
thus creating the most value.
