CSI Charter

• All CSI members have

signed the CSI Charter

• It summarizes individual

member actions included in

the Agenda for Action

• Companies joining the CSI

agree to implement these

actions within 4 years of

joining

CSI and climate change

8

CSI work

Five key elements

• CO2 Protocol – accounting and reporting

• Global CO2 and Energy Database

• Cement Technology Roadmap – with

International Energy Agency (IEA)

• Global Climate Policy Analysis – Sectoral

Approach

• New CDM methodology, based on standardized

baselines (not approved)

9

What is the GNR database?

• The GNR database is :

– An independently-managed database of

CO2 and energy performance information on

the global cement industry.

– The possibility for all participating companies

and interested stakeholders to get access to

standard web-based reports.

• Reflecting their own performance

• Positioning their performance with regards

to the sector’s average (worldwide or by

region)

• Within strict confidentiality guidelines.

10

GNR database – the objective

• The objective of the GNR database is to deliver :

– Uniform (based on the agreed GHG protocol),

accurate and verified data so that

• the industry can understand its own

current and future performance

potential. Key drivers of emissions and

performance are also included.

• policy makers can get access to current

performance data to aid their analysis and

decisions.

GNR coverage

“Getting the Numbers Right” (GNR)

Representative statistical information on the energy and

CO2 performance of clinker and cement production,

worldwide and regionally, to serve the needs of internal

and external stakeholders.

Coverage (2009, latest data available):

• 918 facilities

• 608 million tons clinker

• 789 million tons cement

• 26% of global cement production

Levers for CO2 reductions

1. Energy efficiency – small impact; new plants

already highly energy efficient

2. Alternative fuels – co-processing biomass and

waste materials

3. Blending materials – using substitutes for

clinker

4. Carbon Capture and Storage – not yet ready

15

Energy consumption by kiln type

Technology being phased out

16

Alternative fuel use (2009)

• 2009:

88% fossil fuel;

9% fossil waste;

3% biomass

• Europe leads on

fossil waste

(>20%); Brazil on

biomass (10%)

• Models assume

25-60%

alternative fuels

by 2050

17

Clinker to cement ratio

Average:

• 76%

Blending material:

• Slag

• Fly ash

• Limestone

• Pozzolana

Models assume

ratio 70-73% in

future

The interests of joining

• Joining the GNR reporting process

– provides access to state-of-the-art data and

analysis of the cement industry’s global and

regional performance,

– allows participants to benchmark their own

performance, track their emissions

inventories, and develop sound, data-based

responses to company and regional climate

management issues.

– Joining is possible directly through CSI (by

becoming a CSI member) of through regional

trade associations (CEMBUREAU, FICEM…)
