Upgrade of the Rustavi Cement Mill #3 to Reduce Energy Consumption and Emissions

Status 
Active
Region 
Europe/Eurasia
Description 
In partnership with Heidelberg Cement Georgia, USAID's Enhancing Capacity for Low Emissions Development (EC/LEDS) Clean Energy Program identified opportunities for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at Rustavi Cement Mill #3 owned by Heidelberg Cement Georgia. Based on this analysis, critical elements of the Cement Mill #3 were upgraded. USAID’s contribution leveraged funds from Heidelberg to deploy energy efficient technologies and implement significant equipment upgrades within the plant. This pilot project will reduce GHG emissions by 934 metric tons and save 805 MWh of energy annually.
