The largest plant for the production of cement in Sweden - Cementa, located on the island of Gotland, has been deprived of a license for the extraction of limestone. The country will actually be left without a basic building material.

According to the decree, production will be stopped from November 1, 2021. The court decision, backed and sponsored by global green organizations, is formally linked to concerns about the impact of production on groundwater. Cementa is also considered the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in Sweden. This, of course, is unacceptable. It accounts for as much as three percent of the carbon emissions that comes from limestone crushing (sic!).

Representatives of the plant said that such a decision would create a crisis situation in the country. But green organizations said that the country can do fine without cement and must switch to old technologies for building houses from clay and manure.

Everything is perfect here.
