- Fire in the alternative fuels installation resulting in a 45-day production halt.
- Lower availability of alternative raw materials (e.g., concrete waste, clays).
- Some leaks in water cooling circuits.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced specific emissions of particles by 20% compared to the previous year.
- Achieved a 16.4% thermal substitution rate through the energy recovery of alternative fuels (co-incineration of CDRs and shredded tires), despite a 45-day production halt due to a fire.
- Maintained low SO2 emissions largely due to lower sulfur content in the shale extracted from the Passagem quarry.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Reduce specific water consumption by 5.3% compared to 2014.
📅 Medium-term
- Increase thermal substitution rate to ≥22.5%.
