Synopsis

In 2020 LafargeHolcim made a pledge to reduce our CO2 emissions and set a pathway to net zero CO2. We have partnered with Science Based Targets (SBT) to build that pathway through rigorous science based initiatives. The roadmap we have built is our effort to drive out CO2, for Scope 1 emissions as they are today, down to a target of 475 kg CO2 per ton/cement by 2035. Scope 1 emissions are focused on manufacturing cement covering all CO2 released from raw material delivery to our gates during delivery of product. We have a 5 step process that will cover our reduction of CO2 to a goal of Net Zero by the year 2050, with specialized departments and employees working all over the globe working toward that goal.

Step 1: Reduce clinker factor in manufactured cements and use alternative fuels for energy consumption

Step 2: Use renewable energy to its furthest extent in the production of our cement products.

Step 3: Build the Plants of Tomorrow and drive the efficiency of the plants using the latest technology.

Step 4: Make green products by putting as much recycled material as possible into the cement while maintaining high quality performance.

Step 5: Once all the other goals are met, capture the remaining CO2 through our Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Program (CCUS).

Today we are largely focusing on Step 1 by reducing the clinker factor in our ASTM and API cements. LafargeHolcim has committed to stop manufacturing ASTM Type I/II cements to manufacturing Type IL cement in the United States. To achieve the same end goal for Oil & Gas we have developed an API Oilwell Class L cement at our Joppa, IL facility. LafargeHolcim has been supplying API OilWell Class H and Class A cement for the GOM and Appalachian basin since 2007. We have brought our long standing history of performance and consistency in manufacturing Oilwell products to the development of Class L, which offers a 25% reduction in CO2 emitted during manufacturing vs that of Joppa Class A. This process started in 2019 when API created the new Class L Specification 10A under Annex B. LafargeHolcim has been developing Class L at our global research facilities in and our Joppa Manufacturing plant to replace our currently supplied Joppa, IL API Class A.

We are currently conducting field trials for Conductor and Plugging to Abandonment applications in the State of Ohio with Triple B Services. LafargeHolcim has been granted approval from the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania to utilize and sell this product for all well construction and plug to abandonment. LafargeHolcim, working with West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), has been informed that a one-time variance must be submitted by a well owner/operator in West Virginia for some cases in both conventional and horizontal work. Once we have WV approval and complete our field trial stage API Joppa Class L will be available and replace our Class A in the market.

We look forward to seeing you at the December AADE meeting and thank you for the opportunity to share the upcoming changes to our product lines and to our industry.
