1 XXI FICEM-APCAC GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND MEMBERS CONGRESS INSTITUTES FORUM - Concrete Solutions For Sustainable Cities SUSTAINABILITY OF THE CEMENT INDUSTRY IN THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT October Quito, Ecuador Dr Jean-Marie CHANDELLE CEMBUREAU Chief Executive

2 THE CEMENT INDUSTRY An energy intensive industry A CO 2 intensive industry A capital intensive industry A low labour intensive industry A heavily regulated industry 2

3 AN ENERGY INTENSIVE INDUSTRY 60 to 130 kg of fuel oil or equivalent fuelling amount per tonne of cement Plus 110 kwh of electricity per tonne 3

4 kg CO 2 /Euro A CO 2 INTENSIVE INDUSTRY 5% of worldwide CO 2 emissions 3% of EU CO 2 emissions High intensity per unit of sales (> 9kg CO 2 per ) CO 2 emissions vs. turnover for different industrial sectors (Germany 1999) ETS: direct & indirect CO 2 cost = 45.5% GVA cement lime refractory bricks ceramics steel NF metals chem. industry paper glass 60% of CO 2 emissions = process emissions 40% of CO 2 emissions = < fuels combustible 4

5 A CAPITAL INTENSIVE INDUSTRY 150M per million tonnes of capacity Three years of turnover before first earned 5

6 LOW LABOUR INTENSITY EU27 CEMBUREAU direct employment in EU minus Cyprus and Slovakia 6

43 PRODUCTS: ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE Concrete roads Reduce CO 2 emissions from vehicles Dykes To prevent flooding Use of thermal mass in concrete buildings 43

44 DOWNSTREAM BENEFITS - ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE Adaptation in flood risk areas: Resilience to flood damage Raised concrete houses Floating houses with concrete basements 44

45 DOWNSTREAM BENEFITS ADAPTATION / MITIGATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE SUSTAINABLE URBAN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS SUDS: Gravity drains surface water runoff from hard standing areas into the system Can be designed to reduce the risk of flooding Also can reduce the pollutant load in the surface water runoff Can help organisations to save money on their use of non-potable water 45
