As part of its overall alternative fuels strategy in the UK, CEMEX has been introducing Climafuel® into its three cement plants. Permits have been received from the Environment Agency for the use of this fuel at its Barrington plant in Cambridgeshire and at South Ferriby on the Humber; trials are currently being undertaken at the company's Rugby plant.

Climafuel® is derived from residual household waste ('black bag waste') and commercial and industrial waste predominantly from shops, offices and commercial premises. It looks like shredded paper and consists of paper, cardboard, wood, carpet, textiles and light plastics that have been through a treatment process. It is a solid, non-hazardous fuel from which recoverable materials have been removed.

CEMEX is seeking planning permission to establish a Climafuel® Manufacturing Facility either at the site of the old Southam cement works or at Malpass Farm, which is adjacent to its cement plant in Rugby. Such a plant could provide up to 250,000 tonnes of Climafuel® per annum for use at the Rugby plant. Up to 300,000 tonnes of waste would be diverted from landfill thus assisting in the achievement of stringent landfill reduction targets.
