Lafarge Exshaw - Lower Carbon Fuels Research Project

Lafarge and its partners are embarking on a million-dollar study on the environmental benefits of introducing lower carbon fuels at its Exshaw Cement Plant. Building off research from four other Canadian cement plants, this multi-partner, multi-site research project is the most significant of its kind in Canada.
The overall goal is to reduce carbon emissions to align with the province of Alberta’s Climate Change Leadership plan. As part of the research project, Lafarge wants to replace 30-50 per cent of fossil fuel use at Canadian plants with lower carbon fuels by 2020.
