The use of alternative fuels to replace traditional fossil fuels is a key pillar of Cemex's carbon strategy as it contributes to significantly reduce overall CO₂ emissions.

1. Reduced GHG emissions
2. Saves fossil fuel for the future
3. Reduced need for landfill
4. Recovers energy from waste
5. Reduced energy costs
