using alternative fuels as an energy source for the clinker production has been instrumental in reducing our co2 emissions in the past going forward alternative fuels will continue to be one of the main contributors to achieve our ambitious co2 target of less than 500 kilograms co2 per ton of cementitious materials by 2030. we have a successful track record of implementing alternative fuels projects in a safe and environmentally sound way over the past 40 years in addition to reducing the co2 emissions these projects help to minimize the need for further landfills two examples at our langford cement plant in germany around 90 percent of our fuel use comes from alternative fuels the highest level globally langford is using high quality alternative fuels from commercial industrial waste solvents as well as biomass waste in total this accounts for a carbon neutral biomass utilization rate of around 25 in indonesia we have more than doubled our waste and biomass usage over the last two years now we plan to extend this approach to other growth markets such as the democratic republic of congo togo and others in line with our global sustainability criteria we focus on various levels like local waste and biomass there in order to make this possible on a global scale we have secured waste biomass and other alternative fuel streams in every country by teaming up with municipalities as well as local and international waste management companies according to regulations switching from fossil fuels to alternative fuels is not only beneficial ecologically but also economically in 2019 alone we saved around 400 000 tons of co2 and generated cost savings of more than 20 million euros by switching from fossil fuels to alternative fuels our goal is to nearly double our alternative fuel rate in the fuel mix over the next 10 years by 2030 we target an alternative fuel rate of approximately 40 percent globally you
