Cemex表示，打算建造一个能处理英国沃里克郡未来75%添埋垃圾的垃圾处理厂，使这些垃圾成为生产水泥的燃料。
Cemex将投资3500百万英镑来建造这个厂，这个厂将位于它的Rugby水泥厂，这样将便于Cemex回收当地的居住和商业废料来转化为燃料。
假如该厂通过审批，被命名为“Climafuel”的这个厂将可以每年处理当地30万吨的废料。这将满足Rugby水泥厂60%的燃料需求。
这个计划中的新厂将应用机械生物处理技术(MBT)，加速废料内细菌的分解，使废料变成干燥并干净的易燃材料。
Cemex英国可持续负责人Andrew Spencer说：“循环再利用将一直是首选，但是MBT技术是一种优选。它提供了一个更可持续的方法来解决减少英国添埋不可再利用废料这个不断艰巨懂的难题。”
Cemex公司已经应用切碎的废旧轮胎做为燃料来加热它的窑，这个窑需要达到1400度的高温。用这些生活和商业垃圾一年还可以得到总计达到18万吨的矿物燃料二氧化碳。
假如得到该厂的审批，Cemex将与一个特殊的废料管理公司达成协议来运营这个厂。

Cemex to make green fuel from local waste
Cemex has announced plans to build a plant capable of diverting 75% of Warwickshire’s future waste from landfill and turning it into a resource for cement making.
The £35m investment would include the construction of a plant at its Rugby cement works designed to receive residual household and commercial waste and turn it into fuel.
Provided permission is granted, the ’Climafuel’ plant would have the capacity to recieve around 300,000 tonnes of local waste a year. This would satisfy some 60% of the Rugby cement work’s fuel needs.
The proposed plant’s would use mechanical biological treatment technology (MBT), which accelerates the work of bacteria within the waste, producing a dry and clean material that burns well.
Cemex UK sustainability director Andrew Spencer said: "Reuse and recycling will always be the first choice, but MBT is a complimentary option. It provides a more sustainable solution to the significant and increasing challenge of reducing UK landfill for non recyclable material.”
The firm already uses chipped tyres as fuel to heat its kilns, which need to reach temperatures of 1400 degrees centigrade. The additional use of household and commercial waste could save up to 180,000 tonnes of fossil fuel CO2 a year.
Assuming it obtains permission for the plant, Cemex will enter into an agreement with a specialist waste management company to run the facility.
