Cemex prepare to renew commitment to FRET21
Company advances CO2 reduction in aggregates and concrete transportation in France
CEMEX achieved a 10% reduction in carbon emissions from transporting aggregates and concrete in France in 2023 compared with 2021. This achievement aligns with the company’s three-year commitment to FRET21, a French initiative to reduce CO2 emissions from freight transport, and Future in Action programme, which focuses on becoming a net-zero CO2 company by 2050.
Cemex are advancing their logistics and supply chain decarbonization through route optimization, lower-carbon fuels, and innovative technologies. In river transport, pushers use hydrogenated vegetable oil instead of diesel, while rail transport has increased the number of wagons to reduce truck traffic. The company has also replaced trucks with biogas or biofuel options, encouraging partners to follow suit.
Cemex are preparing to renew their commitment to the FRET21 scheme for the next three years, enhancing their efforts through reinforced commitments or new actions.
