The Secretary General of the Bolivarian Cement Federation, José Vale, stated on Friday, October 31, in an interview on the program “Al Aire,” that the country aims to increase production to eight million tons by 2026.

Vale emphasized that the reactivation of industrial plants such as Pertigalete, Ocumare in Miranda state, Cerro Azul in Monagas state, and Cemento Andino in Trujillo state was achieved through the efforts of the workers, an initiative aimed at guaranteeing 24-hour production.

The official highlighted the partnerships with the Ministry of National Industry. He also pointed out that the Workers’ Productive Councils play a very important role.

Regarding Communal Power, Vale indicated that the connection with community hardware stores will be key for the people and reiterated that the cement produced by the Corporation “must guarantee the State’s housing policies and for State works that are of social interest.”

The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) announced the six startups that will participate in the association’s program to support sustainable technologies in the framework of the first “Innovandi Open Challenge” in order to achieve zero emissions by 2050.

The purpose of creating the six consortiums is to contribute to the promotion and development of technologies that eliminate or discard “carbon in the value chain of cement and concrete”.

The expected methodology is that each consortium will be made up of an “emerging company with its respective pioneering technology, in which from 3 to 8 cement companies from GCCA will participate.

The goals set by GCCA officials is to go from having dozens of pilot projects and announcements already underway to having 10 industrial-scale carbon capture plants by 2030, as part of the historic Net Zero Roadmap, announced in October 2021.

Emerging sustainable technologies

The startups were selected from more than 100 that participated in the Open Challenge, hailing from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy and the Netherlands. From now on, these companies, together with global cement companies, will continue “testing, developing and implementing their innovative technologies”.

The company Carbon Upcycling Technologies and Fortera will be in charge of manipulating CO2 to manufacture cement and cement-derived materials with low carbon emissions. While Coomtech is advancing a low-cost drying technology that uses the kinetic energy created by managing turbulent air.

On the other hand, CarbonOro, MOF Technologies and Saipem will delve into the technology on the implementation of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).
