Cementing our position as a leader in sustainable building materials
Did you know that Danucem’s cement plants in Turňa nad Bodvou and Rohožník have some of the lowest carbon footprints among CRH plants? At Danucem, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s central to our operations. We are making real investments in advanced technologies, because we know our customers want solutions that contribute to a better future for our planet.
We have a clear roadmap to reduce the carbon footprint of our cement production by 30% by 2030, compared to 2020 levels.
By 2050 at the latest, we aim to become a net-zero company. So how do we plan to get there?
Climate action fuels a variety of technological innovations at Danucem. We use alternative raw materials, such as recycled construction waste and fuels made from industrial waste, in our clinker production. These methods don’t just lower carbon emissions, they also support the circular economy by turning waste into resources. We’re also working to reduce our energy use, making our production even more sustainable.
What’s next for decarbonising cement production at Danucem? Carbon capture technology offers the potential to store CO2 and even transform it into new products. As a proud member of the CRH Group, we are excited to bring this cutting-edge technology to our Rohožník cement plant within the next few years.
