Ribblesdale cement works supplies cement to distribution depots as far apart as Glasgow, Middlesborough and Bristol and has supplied projects as diverse as Liverpool’s Roman Catholic cathedral, the Skye Bridge, major on-shore and off-shore wind farms, Renaker Towers in Manchester, and Hinkley Point C nuclear power station (currently the largest building project in Europe)
In 2021 Heidelberg Materials successfully operated their cement kiln at Ribblesdale using a net zero fuel mix as part of a world first demonstration using hydrogen technology. The trial showed how they can potentially move away from using fossil fuels in cement and concrete production and could help them meet their decarbonisation goals.
