The map below shows the exact location of the cement plant in Piechcin, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Poland[1]:
Coordinates (WGS 84): 52.837588, 17.990145 (exact)[2]
Background
In the late 1990s, the Piechecen Cement Plant, also referred to as the Kujawy plant, was acquired by Lafarge. In 2015, Lafarge merged with Holcim, resulting in the formation of LafargeHolcim. The Piechcen Cement Plant became part of this newly formed entity, operating under the name Lafarge Cement Polska. Since 2008, over €95 million has been invested in the Piechcen plant to enhance its production capabilities and environmental performance. In November 2018, LafargeHolcim Poland inaugurated a €2.5 million automated laboratory at the Piechcen plant. This facility conducts hourly analyses of raw meal, clinker, and cement quality. The Piechcen plant is a participant in the Go4ECOPlanet project, aiming to establish a comprehensive carbon capture and storage (CCS) chain. This initiative seeks to capture CO₂ emissions at the plant and store them offshore in the North Sea.
