Low-carbon Welsh cement adds to Pembroke's green credentials

摘要

THE new 2160MW combined-cycle power plant in Pembroke boosted its green credentials during construction phase through the use of low-carbon Phoenix Portland fly ash-cement (BS EN 197-1 CEM II/B-V 42.5N) produced just 90 miles away, which incorporated fly ash from its sister power station. Operator RWE npower worked closely with Aberthaw-based CelticAsh and Lafarge Tarmac's Cement Works at East Aberthaw during the plant's construction phase to overcome a number of technical challenges, while saving around a quarter of the normal CO_2 emissions associated with making the cement.
