In 2020, INSEE reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,372,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for 416 kg CO2e per tonne of cement produced. This represents a significant increase from 2019, when total emissions were about 1,271,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 391 kg CO2e per tonne. INSEE has set ambitious reduction targets for its carbon emissions. For Scope 1, the company aims to reduce its CO2 emissions to less than 530 kg net CO2 per tonne of cementitious materials by 2030, which translates to a 30% reduction from a 1990 baseline and a 15% reduction from the 2020 baseline. Additionally, for Scope 2 emissions, INSEE targets a reduction to less than 37 kg net CO2 per tonne of cementitious materials by 2030, aiming for a 10% decrease in specific electricity consumption compared to 2020, with at least 20% of electricity sourced from alternative energy. Furthermore, INSEE plans to reduce its clinker factor to 65% by 2030, down from 74% in 2020, representing a 12.16% reduction. These commitments reflect INSEE's dedication to sustainability and its proactive approach to mitigating climate change impacts within the cement industry.
