UAE: Cemex will supply more than 200,000m³ of its Vertua low-carbon concrete for the development of major infrastructure at the Khalifa Port expansion, currently being undertaken by Khalifa Port’s parent company AD Ports Group. Khalifa Port chose the product due to its ability to achieve up to a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions, without loss of performance.

The mega-project is located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and serves 25 shipping lines. It is a multipurpose 18.5m deep-water port with a total of 10.6km of berths that include two container terminals, a general cargo and dry bulk facility, a logistics port, a liquid bulk terminal and a roll on - roll off terminal.

"Cemex is proud to contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of major projects around the world," said Sergio Menendez, president of Cemex Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia, in a statement. "Vertua is a family of sustainable products that meet the needs of our customers with the highest quality standards, leveraging the most advanced technology and innovation.”
