-76%of specific dust emissions from 2017 | Dust emissions from the kiln system has been reduced thanks to the installation of new filtration systems. |
| Nitrogen oxides (NOx), deriving from combustion in the clinker kiln system, have been reduced with abatement systems using urea or ammonia solutions and new-generation Low-NOx burners. | -14%of specific NOx emissions from 2017 |
| Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, coming from sulfur contents of natural resources and fuels, are controlled imposing strict limits to sulfur content for purchased raw materials and fuels. |
