Project Description
Scope: Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Construction and Operation of a CSocio-economic impact evaluation
Cement Plant in Janta, Baalbek Caza, Lebanon
The project consists of constructing a cement plant in Janta, Baalbek Caza, with a capacity of 3000 tons/day. The project aims to supply the local market, mainly the Bekaa area, and the regional market, specifically Syria, with cement and alleviate the growing cement deficit in the domestic supply. It is estimated that the Bekaa area needs around 3,000 to 5,000 tons of cement per day. The shortage in cement in the area and the supply from other areas in Lebanon and/or regionally is a serious constraint in the development of basic infrastructure in the area.
