Cementir Holding, a global cement and concrete company, has set net-zero targets for its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The goal of the company is to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to zero or to a residual level that is consistent with reaching net-zero emissions at the global level in eligible 1.5°C scenarios and to neutralise any residual emissions at the net-zero by 2050. To calculate the indirect emissions of CO2 equivalents (Scope 3), the company uses the Ecoinvent Database, which has emission factors linked to the electricity production mix of several countries around the world. For Scope 2 emissions, the company uses the emission factors provided by Ecoinvent 3.7.1. The company uses the default CO2 emission factors of the Global Cement and Concrete Association to calculate the direct emissions of CO2 equivalents (Scope 1). Cementir Holding’s latest filings mentioned the keywords ‘Emissions’ and ‘CO2’ most number of times in relation to ‘Net Zero’.

The company has defined a Roadmap to 2030 that will allow for the constant reduction of CO₂ emissions per ton of cement. The company will reduce emissions of CO₂ per ton of grey cement to 460 kg, which is below the limits required by the European Taxonomy and equates to a 36% reduction from 2020 levels. For white cement, CO₂ emissions will be reduced to 738 kg per ton of cement.
