ENERGY MANAGEMENT

We manage our energy performance through a holistic approach that prioritizes improving energy efficiency across our production processes and all areas of our operations, optimizing resource use, and supporting our carbon reduction targets. Within this framework, we monitor and measure our energy consumption under the ISO 50001 Energy Management System and develop actions aimed at continuous improvement.

Based on the energy performance results achieved in 2024, we prioritized energy efficiency–focused investments for 2025 and the following periods. In our clinker and cement production lines, we planned and implemented projects aimed at reducing energy intensity, including process optimization, equipment modernization, and initiatives supporting the use of alternative fuels and raw materials.

Projects planned for implementation during the 2025–2026 period include improvements to grinding systems, clinker cooling units, fuel feeding lines, fan and motor systems, as well as the waste heat recovery infrastructure. Through these projects, we aim to improve facility-level energy performance indicators, reduce energy consumption per unit of product, and enhance operational efficiency.

At the same time, we continue our efforts to increase the use of renewable energy. A core element of our energy management approach is meeting our electricity consumption through renewable sources. Through our waste heat recovery system and wind turbine, we generated a total of 79 thousand MWh of electricity, meeting 10% of our total electricity demand. In addition, through I-REC / YEK-G certificates, we source all the electricity we consume from renewable energy sources. Alongside our production processes, solutions that enhance energy efficiency are also implemented in administrative buildings and supporting operations. All projects under our energy management framework are evaluated and monitored based on expected energy savings, investment payback periods, facility performance indicators, and emission impacts. Through this approach, we aim to continuously improve our energy performance and contribute to our low-carbon production objectives.
