CSI

The Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI), a sector-project of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WCBSD), is a global effort by 24 major cement producers with operations in more than 100 countries.

Currently all the CSI members are part of the GNR Program (Getting the Numbers Right), a voluntary, independently-managed database of CO2 emissions and energy performance Getting the Numbers Right Latin America

In 2011, FICEM joined this initiative with CSI as a communication partner, with the purpose of promoting the participation of non CSI members in Latin America, in order to have a more comprehensive regional inventory of the cement industry CO2 emissions and energy efficiency in the region.

Performance Report GNR Latin America

The Latin America cement industry available information on CO2 emissions, represents 63% of the regional production. This information suggests that between 1990-2010 a reduction of 17.2% in the net CO2 emission per tonne. These reductions occurred largely during the second decade.

• The main obstacle  is the lack of legislation and awareness, in some countries, to reduce or eliminate land filling

• FICEM’s plan to promote co-Processing aims at:

• Promoting good practices in the region through knowledge transfer between member countries

• Consolidating our carbon footprint and generating action plans for its reduction• Proactively communicating the benefits of co-processing

Present and perspectives of co-processing in LATAM

• Across the region, FICEM has identified co-processing as one of the pillars of sustainability for the cement industry

• Waste valorization rates range from 7% to 18% in Latin America

• The main challenge for the industry in LATAM is to achieve the development of public policies that include co-processing as a feasible, safe alternative among the array of waste management options

The Latin American cement industry played a major role in the definition of the “Guidelines for Co-processing” published by the Basel Convention (UNEP)

Fossil fuel substitution in Latin America

The substitution rate of fossil fuels in countries like Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Dominican Republic ranges between 7% and 18%

The main challenge for the industry in LATAM is to achieve the development of public policies that include co-processing as a feasible, safe alternative among the array of waste management options.

Final Statement

As a developing sub-continent, Latin America has an important infraestructure program to

be carried out and cement will provide the main materia basis for construction.

The regional cement sector has made much progress to achieve ever cleaner

production and it will keep moving forward. Work is being done so that

the necessary expansion of the cement industry is continously achieved through

the installation of modern units, with high energy efficiency and low emissons levels, matching the same standars of excellence

that have been responsible for the industry´s current international recognition

in the environmental sphere.
