2020 Financial Highlights

Specific Net CO2 emissions: What we have achieved so far

Our achievements so far By 2020, we have reduced by approx. 17% the specific net CO2 emissions compared to 1990 level (plants taken into consideration according to SBTI methodology)

Reduction's drivers:

  • Higher alternative fuels utilization
  • Thermal energy optimization
  • Lower clinker to cement ratio
  • Improved technologies

CO2Intensity emission index by country: 2020 vs 1990

Capex requirements for decarbonization over the next 5 years

  • Over the next 5 years, Buzzi Unicem will be involved in more than 100 initiatives aiming to reduce CO2 emissions
  • This plan leads to CO2 specific capex per year equal to approx 10-15% of the annual avg capex spending

CO2 Capex breakdown by initiatives

  • Approx. 75% of CO2 specific capex will be dedicated to initiatives with high short therm potential of CO2 reduction, such as: increasing fuel substitution, reducing clinker content in cement, in-house production of electrical power and reducing CO2 intensity in energy consumption
  • Within R&D-Pilot Testing category, the most important initiative will be CCU/S
