Putting people at the right place

In Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône), Paprec and Vicat are inaugurating ALTèreNATIVE, a new type of plant that transforms non-recyclable waste into alternative fuel for cement plants. This investment, led by two French family-run industrial groups can help to decarbonize the industry and contribute to developing national sovereignty. It is part of the regional ecological transition goals.

With the start of operations of the world’s first research and development facility for CO₂ capture based on the Pure Oxyfuel process, the European cement manufacturers Buzzi/Dyckerhoff, Heidelberg Materials, SCHWENK Zement, and Vicat are sending an important signal for the decarbonization of the construction materials industry.

Against the backdrop of rapidly changing industrial models, the Vicat Group announces the acquisition of Araïko, a company specializing in artificial intelligence applied to industry.
