Post-Conference Tour to Norcem Brevik Cement Plant

Norcem AS is member of the Heidelberg Cement group, and the sole producer of cement in Norway. Norcem operates two modern and energy effi cient cement plants in Norway. The Brevik plant has an annual production capacity of about 1.35 mill tons clinker and cement, and produces 7 cement products.

In order to reduce CO2 emissions and save fossil fuels, Norcem utilizes alternative fuels (waste derived fuels) extensively. In the Brevik plant more than 50% of the fuel used in clinker production is comprised by alternative fuels.

A visit to the underground limestone mine, which is located more than 200 meter below sea level, will also be arranged.
