This venture aims to produce carbon-neutral fuels and materials with lower carbon emissions. Cemex has signed a joint venture agreement with recycling service provider ALBA to produce biochar, a carbon-neutral fuel derived from biomass. The use of biochar, alongside a planned carbon capture project on site, will allow the capture of biomass CO2 for storage...
Cemex’s circular waste management business, Regenera, and DP World, a global leader in supply chain solutions, have signed an agreement for circular waste management solutions in the Dominican Republic. Per the agreement, Regenera will convert used tires from DP World Dominicana’s logistics operations into a substitute for fossil fuels, thereby avoiding landfilling and the associated...
In 2022, Votorantim Cimentos was recognized by CDP as one of the best evaluated companies in the 2022 Climate Change Program
Proprietary technology enables low-carbon cement with 50% less CO2 Delivering up to 500,000 tons of ECOPlanet cement per year Sustainable operation to run with 100% biomass and waste heat recovery system Holcim launches Europe’s first calcined clay cement operation in its Saint-Pierre-la-Cour plant in France to deliver ECOPlanet green cement with 50% lower CO2 footprint compared...
2030 is a crucial benchmark for the carbon neutrality journey: reducing the CO2 footprint while producing enough cement to meet demand will be challenging. Over 80% of the cement operation’s carbon emissions are released during clinker production. Also, the substitution of fossil fuel with carbon-neutral fuel is the key level to achieving the 2030 and...
Over 13 million tons of carbon dioxide reach the atmosphere every year due to cement production in Romania, a country that produces around 15 million tons of cement annually, the aggregate figure at the level of the biggest players in the Romanian market. For every kilogram of cement produced, 0.9 kilograms of carbon dioxide are...
