Development of cement industry in Poland – History, current state, ecological aspects. A review

Abstract The history of the Polish cement industry has been presented, including its beginnings in 1857, when the cement plant Grodziec was established, and the current state of today. The cement industry in Poland at present encompasses 11 cement plants operating in a full production cycle, one cement grinding plant and one calcium aluminate cement plant. The cement industry in Poland has recently implemented a number of investments to improve the production efficiency and support the environmental protection – one of the most important investments is the use of alternative fuels in cement production.
