Cementir Holding

Cementir Holding, an Italian cement, lime, and plaster company, reported approximately 9.74 billion kg CO2e in total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for 2025. This includes about 7.1 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 400 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 2.5 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 9.8 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions were about 10.31 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 7.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 527.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2.6 billion kg CO2e.

Cementir Holding has committed to significant climate action, with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved near-term and long-term targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.

Near-term, Cementir Holding commits to reducing gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 29.33% per tonne of cementitious product by 2030, using a 2021 base year. They also target a 23.00% reduction in gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services per tonne of purchased clinker and cement by 2030, also from a 2021 base year. These near-term targets are classified by SBTi as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario.

For the long term, Cementir Holding is committed to reducing gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 96.1% per tonne of cementitious product by 2050 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2021 base year. These long-term targets are also classified as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario by SBTi.

Specific reduction plans include reducing Scope 1 emissions for grey cement to less than 500 kg CO2 per tonne by 2030 (a 26% reduction from 2021 levels of 684 kg). New 2030 decarbonisation targets for Scope 1 emissions aim for a 42% reduction to 417 kg Gross CO2/TCE for grey cement and a 29% reduction to 653 kg Gross CO2/TCE for white cement from a 2020 base year. The company's strategy involves reducing clinker content, replacing fossil fuels with alternative fuels like biomass, and implementing energy recovery initiatives.
