Environmental
1. To increase sustainability efforts towards reduction of emission of carbon dioxide: The cement industry is a major emitter of carbon dioxide which significantly contributes to global warming and climate change. Around 60% of these emissions are produced during the conversion of limestone, an intermediate component of finished cement and the rest 40% is generated by the combustion of fossil fuel in the kiln and to produce electricity to power the plant. The plants of the company are mostly designed to be energy efficient using cutting edge technology in cement production. The company uses large, modern rotary kilns equipped with preheaters that use exhaust gas from the kiln to heat raw materials. Using these modern heat recycling systems in this way the company can heat the raw material to about 900 degree Celsius before it enters the kilns which ultimately results in reduction of fuel used to convert it to clinker. This leads to reduced emissions of carbon dioxide per ton of clinker and cementitious material produced as well as results in operational saving costs.
