en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cem’In’Eu has launched a new Robusticim CEM II grade cement, upgrading its bagged product to CEM II / A-LL 52.5 R. Produced at the Rhône Ciments plant (Drôme department), this cement replaces clinker with local limestone, reducing its carbon footprint by 18% compared to its predecessor CEM I 52.5 R, from 887 kg CO2 eq/t to 725 kg CO2 eq/t.

Company President Fabien Charbonnel stated that abandoning the last CEM I grade reference product is a significant step on the decarbonization path. The new cement offers customers a product with lower carbon content that fully meets their needs without requiring changes in usage habits. The upgrade of the new Robusticim aligns with Cem’In’Eu’s roadmap since its inception, which aims to reduce the construction industry's carbon footprint by continuously lowering the clinker factor. Since 2019, the company's clinker factor has decreased by 10 percentage points.

The bagged product uses packaging that is waterproof, sealed, and ultra-robust, suitable for outdoor storage and intensive handling, significantly reducing on-site waste. These bags are made from recyclable plastic and can also be used to manage construction site waste when necessary.

In terms of key operational data, the company has cumulatively unloaded over 1 million tons of clinker since 2019, with the largest vessel capacity received being 30,000 tons. The storage capacity at the Sète port warehousing is 50,000 tons. Each industrial base provides an average of 48 direct jobs. The company operates two grinding centers in France: Aliénor Ciments (Lot-et-Garonne department) and Rhône Ciments (Drôme department).
