Decarbonisation options for the Dutch cement industry
report
The Dutch cement production takes place at the Eerste Nederlandse Cement Industrie (ENCI), the first and only cement industry active in the Netherlands (since 1926). The company is nowadays owned by the German multinational HeidelbergCement and has twoproducing industrial plants, one located in Rotterdam and one based in IJmuiden. The Rotterdam and IJmuiden industrial sites have a production capacity of 600 kilotonnes (kt) and 1,400 kt of cement per year, respectively. They produce two main different types of cement for the Dutch market, Portland cement (CEM I) and blast furnace slag cement (CEM III). The main feedstock for cement production is clinker, which is not produced in the Netherlands anymore. For this reason, the Dutch market is depending on imports of clinker from other EU countries.
