Mexico: Holcim will start a programme to use biomass as fuel in August 2014 at its Orizaba cement plant. Its subsidiary Ecoltec has installed a system to utilise biomass, using residual heat from the cement furnaces. The company will use coffee bagasse and biomass from the paper and beer industries, according to spokesman Gustavo Gastelum. Apart from limiting fossil fuel consumption, the project will also reduce methane gas emissions from organic waste. Since 1990 Holcim Mexico has cut its net carbon dioxide emissions by 19%.
