The goal is to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from existing cement plants and at the same time utilise the captured CO2 for other applications.

Holcim Australia and New Zealand have announced that it will construct and operate a new facility in Auckland.

The companies have come together to reduce CO2 in construction.

The additional capacity will add 1.6 MTPA of cement to the existing capacity of 2.31 MTPA, taking the total capacity at Tikaria GU to 3.91 MTPA.

The company aims to build on its 2021 accomplishments anchored on innovation and sustainability to further drive business performance and support the country’s progress.

Holcim is partnering with the German startup Magment to improve its magnetisable concrete technology for road surfaces, enabling electric vehicles to recharge wirelessly while in motion.

The company’s ECOPlanet T90 is a specialised engineered blend of cementitious and other construction materials that allows for a more efficient and cost-effective solution for backfilling underground mines.

For the second year in a row, Holcim has been ranked as a global climate leader on CDP’s ‘A List’ for tackling climate change and A- for water security.

The company has announced Africa’s largest 3D-printed affordable housing project in Kenya, developed by its joint venture 14Trees in partnership with CDC Group, the UK’s development finance institution.

The sale of Holcim’s business in Zambia follows the divestment of the Indian Ocean cluster, which was closed at the end of October 2021.
