Progress in coverage of GNR
Worldwide coverage is dominated by China (>50% of total production) – reporting by Chinese CSI members will bring global coverage to ca. 35%)
In Central America GNR % coverage remained almost constant from 2005, around 70%.

Energy efficiency (Thermal energy)
Between 2007 and 2010, the consumption of thermal energy per tonne of clinker in Latin America remained almost constant at around 3.700 MJ/t clinker. In 2011 this number deceased by 2,2%, reaching 3.623 MJ/t clinker.
In 2011, the average thermal energy consumption per tonne clinker in Latin America was slightly higher than the global average (+1,7%). This variation is product of the difference in the type of technology used, such as dry kilns with preheater and without precalciner, which are less efficient than those equipped with an additional precalciner.
The results demonstrate that Latin America has already started to improve the energy efficiency in its processes, like its counterparts in industrialized nations.

Between 2006 and 2010, the electric energy consumption in the Latin American cement industry was slightly higher than the global average by nearly 1%.
In 2011, the electric energy consumption per tonne of cement in Latin America matches the global average, 107 kWh/t cement.
This, together with the thermal energy consumption, indicates that the Latin American industry is very capable and migrating towards more energy-efficient technologies.
