APO Cement Corp signs waste heat agreement with Sinoma Energy Conservation

Cemex Holdings Philippines Inc subsidiary APO Cement Corp has signed an agreement with Sinoma Energy Conservation Ltd. of China to build and operate a 4.5MW waste-heat-to-energy (WHTE) facility in Naga, Cebu. This technology is expected to generate 25,000MW hours annually.

The facility is expected to mitigate the negative effects of power service interruptions, help reduce dependence on high-cost power sources, and reduce the cement plant’s carbon footprint, the company said.

"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.
