5. CSI Agenda for Action (2002)
Joint projects develop:
guidelines
best practices
reporting and monitoring systems
Individual company actions
develop Sustainable Development strategy
implement guidelines and best practices
publically report KPIs
3rd party verification
set targets and report progress
Key areas
Climate protection
Local impacts on land and communities
Responsible use of fuels and raw materials
Communications and progress reporting

9. “Getting the Numbers Right” (GNR): a database for the cement industry
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.
World-wide cement production related CO2 and Energy Performance Information, from over 800 cement plants:
23 indicators at installation and company level on production, CO2 emissions, thermal & electric energy use, fuel mix, etc., …
Years now available: 1990, 2000, 2005, 2006
2007 data collection available by end of September
External assurance of CO2 data by CSI members
In 2006, the CSI initiated a key project: the “Getting the Numbers Right (GNR)” system. Its objective is to obtain current and robust data for CO2 and energy performance of clinker and cement production at global and regional levels across cement companies worldwide. It is a unique system that provides transparent and verified data.
Data Collection CO2 and energy performance data is collected on:
Specific gross and net CO2 emissions per ton clinker, cement and cementitious product
Absolute gross and net CO2 emissions
Thermal energy consumption per ton clinker
Electric energy consumption per ton cement
Fuel mix (fossil fuel / fossil waste / biomass)
Clinker to cement ratios
To enable calculation of the percentiles, trend lines and correlations, company facilities were also required to provide:
Clinker and cement production volumes
Differentiation by grey and white clinker
Type of installation
Location of installation
Nominal capacity
Year of construction

10. Regional coverage of cement production in GNR database (800 million tons cement produced by CSI members)
The scope of the data collection covers all countries and regions where GNR system participants have clinker, cement and grinding operations. The geographical scope is expected to expand as additional parties join the effort.
The GNR system is to date the database with the widest coverage of the cement industry globally, but could be better represented in Asia, particularly in China. Currently, GNR participants cover 31% of global cement production in 2006, with high data representation for Europe, North America, Latin America and India, but low for Asia and China.
The CSI is actively encouraging other cement companies and federations worldwide to participate, so as to build a more representative global database as a foundation for policy analysis. CEMBUREAU (the European Cement Association) and the Cement Industry Federation Australia have signed up to the GNR system.
First Chart CSI: Leading cement companies in a global voluntary initiative (800 million tons cement produced by CSI members)
Box: Cement Industry Features
2.6 billion tonnes produced, 2007
Manufactured in nearly all countries
50% of industry in China
More than half CO2 comes from chemical reaction during cement manufacture
Technology developed by others, readily available in the market
The CSI member companies represent approx. 30% of the global cement production, in some regions such as Europe and North and Latin America, coverage is between 65% and 90%. The lowest coverage is in the CIS countries and China.

11. Energy consumption per tonne clinker by kiln type
The best energy efficiency – 3,380 MJ/tonne of clinker (yearly average in GNR) – is achieved with preheater kilns with precalciner (PH-PC), followed by preheater kilns without precalciner (PH), which are on average ~9% less efficient. The variation of performance within each technology is around 5%. Modern PH-PC kilns have a higher production capacity than older installations, which also contributes to higher energy efficiency across the board.
Long dry kilns without preheater towers consume around 33% more thermal energy and the old wet kilns consume up to 85% more energy than in PH-PC kilns.
What is important here is that these data show that the potential to improve the thermal efficiency of existing kilns through operational optimization is very small. Substantial improvement of the industry average thermal efficiency can only be achieved by investment in new or upgrading old kilns, assisted by closure of the less efficient install ations.The thermal efficiency of an installation is largely defined by its original engineering design

12. Global gross CO2 per tonne clinker (1990 to 2006)

13. Global net CO2 per tonne cementitious (1990–2006)
From 1990 to 2006 the specific CO2 emissions go down.

14. CO2 emissions trends Conclusion
Results from the GNR-system show that cement production by companies participating in the GNR initiative increased by 53% from 1990 to 2006, whereas absolute net CO2 emissions increased more slowly, by only 35%, showing evidence of a decoupling of production and related emissions.
GNR contains a wealth of data to develop knowledge and to manage and improve the cement industry’s CO2 and energy performance
The CSI invites further participation especially from North- and Latin America, China, Russia & Japan.
