SCG launches reduced-CO2 cement in Vietnam

Vietnam: Siam Cement Group (SCG) has announced the launch of a new 20% reduced CO2 cement in Vietnam. Việt Nam News has reported that SCG achieved the reduction through technical upgrades to its cement production, alternative fuels co-processing and waste heat recovery. The producer said the move is a response to growing demand for lower-carbon alternatives in the country’s cement market.

Deputy country director for Vietnam Tanakorn Theeramankong said “For the first time, SCG has introduced a new low carbon cement to the Vietnamese market, marking a significant step forward in our journey to achieve net-zero emissions. By pursuing advanced technologies to develop low carbon cement, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also set a new standard for Vietnam’s construction industry.”
