In Spain, CPL Industries continued to expand its penetration in to hard-to-abate and energy-intensive industries, delivering the first commercial trial of Ecoke to Sidenor’s Electric Arc Furnace production site at Basauri.
Ecoke, developed by CPL Industries during the final months of 2021, has already found considerable success in metals industries throughout Europe – in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Scandinavia – and is now attracting attention from a wider global audience.
Jason Sutton, CEO of CPL Industries Solid Fuels, said: “We are immensely proud to support Sidenor’s robust sustainability agenda. Sidenor’s credentials in reducing CO2 emissions and decarbonisation strategies are already very advanced and we were able to identify a natural fit between our businesses to pursue a common goal.
Ecoke® provides an immediate path to decarbonisation and we are committed to a programme of product development and research investment to deliver advances in biofuels in order to exceed industry expectations and deliver further carbon savings over the coming years.
In recent months customers have additionally been faced with delivery security issues and we are actively working with a number of major industrial companies on how best the combined capacity of 500,000 tons per annum across our UK and Ireland production facilities can help alleviate these supply-chain issues and provide security of supply.”
