Given the importance of energy inputs and the emission of CO₂ in the cement production process, we aim to ensure the lowest possible emissions and guarantee the competitiveness of our operations by capitalizing on our extensive knowledge of the energy markets to achieve a consistent, cost-competitive, and sustainable supply of energy and CO₂ emission reduction.

In order to achieve these goals we conduct research and development in the following fields of study:

• Emission reduction strategies
• Energy supply strategies
• Analysis of energy and CO₂ markets
• Renewable energy generation
• Carbon capture and sequestration
• Use of alternative and bio-fuels

Recognizing the impact of CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions on the global climate, we have taken a number of actions to reduce our own operations’ emissions. For information on our performance and progress, visit the Sustainability section and read about our actions to combat climate change.
