the kilns of our cement plants using secondary fuels. Until 2030, we aim to increase the share of alternative fuels to 43% of the fuel mix (2020: 25.7%), and to double the biomass rate from roughly 9% to 19%. This is one of the key levers to achieve our over-arching goal – to reduce our CO 2 emissions to under 500 kg per tonne of cementitious

1. Introduction. Biomass is derived from organic matter synthesized directly or indirectly by photosynthesis in green plants. It is one most abundant resource, with the majority on land (Slade et al., 2014); however, although biomass is rich on earth, only a small fraction has been effectively utilized by the human now.The global biomass …

To increase the substitution rate of fossil fuels with alternative fuels, we are constantly investing in state-of-the-art technologies. As part of our net-zero roadmap, we aim to increase our thermal substitution rate to 50% by 2030 and reach over 70% by 2050. By substituting traditional fuels with alternative fuels in our cement plants, we solve …
