Coordinates (WGS 84): 38.191648, 13.249582 (exact)[2]
Background
In the 1980's the Isola del Femmine plant was modernized with the construction of new raw cooking and grinding plants, new silos for the homogenization of flour, and new plants for grinding and dosing coal in the new oven and in the stove of raw mill. In 2015, HeidelbergCement acquired a controlling 45% stake in Italcementi, the original owner of the Isola delle Femmine plant. In 2018, the Sicilian regional government adopted an air quality plan mandating significant reductions in emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides and dust, by 2022, with further reductions by 2027. Compliance required substantial equipment modifications at the Isola delle Femmine plant, leading Italcementi to challenge the plan legally due to the high investment costs and uncertain effectiveness of the required technologies.
