From my limited understanding this seems really impressive!

I immediately associated this to possible disruption in the cement supply chain that's about to hit Sweden. Cementa, which produces about 75% of Sweden's cement, will no longer be allow to mine limestone on Gotland. Their permit was due to be renewed but due to the low quality of their environmental impact study the court was unable to determine if the mining might impact the local residents groundwater. So just a week or so ago a Swedish court decided Cementa muts cease mining operations some time in October. And as I said this mine/factory produces 75% of Sweden's cement. So there are more problems with the current way of producing cement than just CO2.

Most probably there will be a limestone/cement void in Sweden that needs to be filled, and I'd rather have you doing it than some new limestone mine. Best of luck to you!




Yes! This is awesome, I saw this a couple weeks back. We're trying to get in touch with Cementa, but it seems Scandinavian holidays are getting in the way so far. Definitely an ideal place for us to start. That plant does 70% or so of Sweden's cement consumption


You know everybody will be working overtime up until then. Extra storage purchased, and possibly discounts to customers for accepting early delivery.
