Alternative Materials and Fuels for Cement Production
The Best Way to Effectively Reduce Carbon Emissions


TAIWAN
Note: Hoping Plant has been used waste wood chips as one of its alternative fuels since 2022 and will continue to develop SRF, aiming to enhance its substitution benefits by 2023



MAINLAND CHINA
Note: Usage shall comply with local governments’ regulations
Energy Efficiency
Management Approaches
100% plants in Taiwan and Mainland China obtained ISO 50001 certification, and the implementation is currently underway at RMC plants and Operation Headquarters

Targets
Improve energy productivity by 50% by 2040 relative to a 2016 baseline year
Taiwan’s first large-size manufacturer to join EP100 in July 2022

Results and Targets
Green Logistics Plan
Low-Carbon Construction Materials
Management Approaches
The first Carbon Footprint Label and Carbon Reduction Label, establishing the standard of the cement industry in Taiwan

Results
In 2020, TCC proactively applied to EPA Taiwan for formulating the Product Category Rules (PCRs) for cement products and obtained the Carbon Footprint Label from EPA Taiwan
In 2021, the carbon footprint of bagged cement by the Suao and Hoping Plant was verified as a reduction of 11% and 5.5% respectively and obtained the Carbon Reduction Label from EPA Taiwan. TCC thus became the first cement company with products labeled with the “green footprint” in Taiwan
In 2022, 4000/5000/6000 psi concrete obtained carbon footprint label and plans to the carbon reduction label verification. In 2023, the verification to green building label is underway




Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
Normally, buildings have a life span of 50-70 years. The UHPC as a building material can extend it to 100-120 years, which reduces building reconstruction and avoids construction wastes generated in the interest of carbon reduction target
TCC Low-Carbon UHPC Center is currently under construction and expected to commence trial operations in July 2023. The center aims to produce high-quality, low-carbon materials
Application: TCC DAKA Renewable Resource Recycling Center, TUO Tower, UHPC Energy Storage Cabinet, artwork, etc


Low-carbon 3D Printing Technology, Developing Sustainable Construction Materials
TCC 3D printing material is cost-effective, strong, colorful and suitable for large-scale printing, with commercial potential

Construction Circular Materials and Concrete Recycling
Debris after building demolition and the one recovered from the RMC plants: Research by the Low-carbon R&D Center. Aside from using Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) as a substitute for backfilling material, it can also be utilized as coarse aggregate in non-structural parts of buildings. Also, the Center conducts planning for the recycling equipment and the hardened cement paste sent to cement sites as alternative materials
Concrete debris: Reused as the building materials and floor tiles of TCC plants as well as the car bumpers and sod at charging stations to live up to the ideas of carbon reduction and eco-friendliness
