The result of an investment of €40 million financed by the Holcim group and winner of France Relance funding, this large-scale production device is equipped with Holcim proximA Tech technology. The proximA TechZero addition produced in Saint-Pierre-La-Cour, by supplementing the clinker in the constitution of the new ECOPlanet cements, helps to reduce their carbon footprint by half compared to traditional Portland cement. The Saint-Pierre-la-Cour facility and its unique industrial process emit almost no carbon, thanks to the reuse of waste heat and the exclusive use of non-fossil alternative fuels, mainly biomass from local loops of energy. circular economy. The ECOPlanet cements produced in Saint-Pierre-la-Cour will primarily supply the construction market for the western facade of the country as well as Paris and Ile-de-France.
