Brantner Altgas

Brantner Altgas s.r.o., belonging to the Brantner group, is one of the first facilities for the production of alternative fuels for the cement industry of its kind in Slovakia. This facility has modern, large-capacity technology where different types of waste are mechanically treated and combined to serve as alternative fuel for the cement industry.

The uniqueness of this facility lies in the eco-friendly approach to cement production, using a fuel based on waste we have created that would end up in landfills instead of virgin raw materials that are finite.

In this way, the energy potential of otherwise disposed waste
from households and industry is harnessed, thus saving our raw materials and our environment.

Brantner Group

Brantner Group’s mission is to bring innovative ideas to municipal services for towns and villages, to use and develop more efficient and environmentally friendly forms of waste recovery with respect for our environment.
