A unit of cement-maker
Cemex Holdings Philippines Inc. has signed an agreement with Sinoma Energy
Conservation Ltd. of China to build and operate a 4.5-megawatt (MW)
waste-heat-to-energy (WHTE) facility in Naga, Cebu.
In a disclosure to the
Philippine Stock Exchange on Wednesday, Cemex announced that the WHTE deal had
been signed by its subsidiary, APO Cement Corp.
The power facility will
be able to capture excess heat from the cement plant’s kiln and convert it into
usable energy. This is expected to generate 25,000 megawatt-hours annually.
“Promoting energy
efficiency is one of Cemex’s objectives in advancing resource generation best
practices. We are delighted to see the good results of our partnership with
Sinoma since the successful construction of the first WHTE project in one of
our plants,” said Cemex Philippines president Pedro Palomino.
“We are pleased to be working with Cemex once
again and we are positive that the upcoming project will contribute
significantly to Cemex’s operations,” said Zhang Qi, Sinoma-EC chair.
APO Cement operates as
a building material supplier and cement producer. It has a plant in Cebu,
founded in 1921, which produces Pozzolan and Portland cement under the APO Cement
brand.
Cemex said it would
continuously seek to improve its performance as an “efficient, agile and
innovative” company by identifying, sharing and implementing best practices
across its global network of plants and facilities.
