Ecocem and CB Green co-invest 60 million euros 08/08/2023

  • Groupe CB and Ecocem are to set up a joint venture to build a limestone filler crushing plant, with an investment of 60 million euros.
  • The crushing plant, to be located in Dunkirk, will be capable of producing 600,000 tonnes per year of high-quality limestone fillers.
  • After ten years of research, Ecocem has developed a technology, ACT, which aims to reduce the proportion of clinker in cement from 75% to 20%.
  • Ecocem also produces 750,000 tonnes of low-carbon cement a year in Dunkirk.
  • Groupe CB, which employs 660 people, achieved sales of 265 million euros.
  • The limestone filler could compensate for the possible future loss of half the volumes of slag produced, due to steel decarbonization efforts that could lead to blast furnace closures.
