Mega investment
Wietersdorfer to become more environmentally friendly
Alpacem invests 50 million euros in new technology. The aim is to save 21 million tons of CO₂. But that's not all for the company. The cement manufacturer also wants to save electricity.
The production of cement is anything but environmentally friendly. This is because burning limestone releases a lot of carbon dioxide. But this will soon be history at the Alpacem plant in Wietersdorf. "With this new project, we are investing in a sustainable future and laying the foundations for energy-efficient and environmentally conscious cement grinding," explains Florian Salzer, Technical Director of Alpacem Zement Austria. This is to be achieved through a new cement grinding plant that can save up to 21 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. The modernized plant would also require less electricity. The plant is scheduled for completion and commissioning in 2027.
Transportation is also becoming greener
But that is by no means the end of the story for the cement manufacturer. "Alpacem has a clear goal: CO₂-neutral production by 2035. To achieve this ambitious goal, we need a package of measures and a concrete path," says Managing Director Lutz Weber. In the future, a new cement silo plant is also to be built in the Görtschitztal valley, which will be directly connected to the railroad.
Alpacem is investing a total of 50 million euros in the modernization of the Wietersdorf plant over the coming years.
