Background
The Lappeenranta cement plant has undergone several modernization projects in line with owner Finnsementti's goals to decrease CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 2021 levels. In 2019, a Turbu-Flex burner systems was installed in the clinker kilns, in 2022 energy provider St1 announced plans to establish a 25,000t/yr renewably powered synthetic methanol plant, and in 2023 the owners announced plans with Aker Carbon Capture to carry out a pre-engineering study for a planned carbon capture system.
