Türkiye: Cement producer Karcimsa Cement said that it will invest US$30m in a 1Mt/yr clinker and granulated slag grinding facility in Kayseri. Soner Ozbey, the chair of Karcimsa, said that the plant will produce ‘green’ cement with low carbon emissions, according to Medya Karabuk. He noted that Türkiye imposed restrictions on cement to expand the use of low-carbon cement in public procurement contracts from 2025. The unit will procure slag from local steel manufacturer Kardemir.
Karcimsa is a joint venture between Kardemir and concrete producer Beycim Beton Sanayi.
