N+P International BV has signed a cooperation agreement with Cemex Latvia for the supply of approximately 500 000 t of solid recovered fuel (SRF) over the next 10 years.
In fulfilling the contract, N+P will use port facilities in the UK. Grimsby is the principle port for SRF export, but N+P is also exporting alternative fuels and biomass fuels from Newport, Hull, Grangemouth and London by ship and via Dover and Felixstowe by road.
Cemex already utilises alternative fuels from N+P in its cement plants in other parts of Europe. The new contract will help to strengthen N+P’s presence in the UK alternative fuels and biomass export market.
Saxlund International Ltd is preparing to commence construction of an alternative fuel system for the storage, transportation, weighing and injection of SWF to the two kilns at Hope Construction Material’s UK cement plant.
Cemex matched funds raised by employees as part of an internal campaign two-to-one. The money will be donated to those affected by Typhoon Haiyan, supporting the rebuilding of houses and schools in Northern Cebu.
