Cemex marks the 25th anniversary of its El Carmen Nature Reserve, a 130,000-hectare wilderness spanning between Mexico and the United States. The reserve, comparable in size to Los Angeles, stands as one of North America's most biodiverse areas.

The reserve hosts an impressive biodiversity including:

  • 1,500 plant species
  • 289 bird species
  • 81 reptile and amphibian species
  • 80 mammal species

A notable achievement is the successful rewilding project that reintroduced 117 American bison, marking their first breeding cycle in 2023 after a century's absence. The reserve has also reestablished desert bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, and desert mule deer populations, while housing one of Mexico's largest black bear communities.

El Carmen has received the Wildlife Habitat Council's Gold Conservation Certification, the highest recognition from the Council. The initiative enhances ecosystem CO2 removal capacity through increased biomass stocks, supporting Cemex's commitment to a nature-positive, carbon-neutral future.

Rhea-AI Summary

Cemex and Linde have been selected to receive €157 million in funding from the EU Innovation Fund for a pioneering CO2 capture project at Cemex's Rüdersdorf Cement Plant in Germany. The project aims to capture 1.3 million metric tons of CO2 per year, ultimately decarbonizing the site by 2030.

Linde's HISORP® CO2 capture technology will be deployed in a cryogenic-adsorptive process that captures CO2 from the exhaust gas. The liquid CO2 will be transported by rail to an intermediate CO2 Hub and shipped to an offshore storage site in the North Sea. The project's environmental credentials will be enhanced by regional green electricity generation and water recycling.

This initiative is part of Cemex's Future in Action sustainability program, which aims to make the company a net-zero CO2 company by 2050.
