CEMEX, a global building materials company, has received a €44 million grant from the European Union to develop an innovative technology that can use waste as fuel for cement production. The FLEXI-BURN technology can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90% and increase energy efficiency by up to 30%. The technology can also help address the problem of waste management and disposal.
