725 Lafarge intends to further increase its replacement rate of fossil energies on the biggest cement plant in France at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour.

The replacement rate of those fossil fuels currently used could reach 83% thanks to a new shredded solid waste recovery workshop which was inaugurated in March 2016.
Lafarge thus aims to be less dependent on imported products and promote local industry.

In 2013, the replacement rate of the cement plant was 60%, up from 39% in 2012. In 2015, the rate was 38% in all French plants.

Lafarge's Saint-Pierre-la-Cour, France site focuses on local activity

At the Saint-Pierre-la-Cour site of French cement group Lafarge, everything is done locally from raw materials to employment and sales, according to site director Gilles Benvenist.

The site, which is the largest of Lafarge's nine in France and produces 1.6 million tonnes of cement/year, benefits from the presence of iron, alumina, limestone and silica at the nearby quarry.

The cement produced at the site is sold to large building and public works companies in the west of France.
