Ohlsson, a HeidelbergCement veteran, was appointed Marketing Manager and Vice President at Cementa in 2014, a role he will continue following his promotion to Managing Director.
Under Ohlsson, Cementa will continue to work on its vision of zero-carbon emissions through the lifetime of the product, as well as developing new products to better meet the market need’s of today’s modern society.
In 2015, the HeidelbergCement Northern Europe – of which Cementa is a part – reported emissions of 693 kg/t of cement.
The company’s zero-carbon emission strategy focuses on five areas: energy efficiency, the use of biomass, the use of alternative cementitious materials, such as flyash and blastfurnace slag, carbon capture and storage, and carbonation – the process whereby hardened concrete absorbs CO2.
Cementa is the only cement producer in Sweden, operating three plants: Slite and Degerhamn – both on islands off the southeast coast of the country – and in Skövde in southern Sweden.
