Cement production
Production at catalan factories has been ballasted in 2018 byexports downfall as a consequence of the lack of international competitiveness due to energetic costs and CO2 emission permit price. Downfall over the previous year was of 16%.
It is worth noting that clinker production operations capacity (previous product in cement manufacturing process) is slightly over 7 million tons a year, and only one third of its size is in use.
