Lagan Cement’s long-term aim is to become the most environmentally sustainable cement manufacturing facility in Europe. It is widely known that one of the least sustainable aspects to modern life is the use of fossil fuels. With this in mind the Lagan facility at Killaskillen, Kinnegad, has made great progress over the last few years in dramatically reducing the amount of fossil fuels it uses.
Lagan Cement is now supplying 60% of its heat energy needs through the use of renewable and locally sourced alternative fuels. These fuels emit less global warming gases and are produced in Ireland, thereby supporting the Irish economy.
