Insights into Holcim's Energy Renewability
In 2024, Holcim consumed a total of 419 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 12.41% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 87.59% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Holcim's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Holcim's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2024, Holcim consumed a total of 419 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 12.41% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that Holcim has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Are Holcim's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2021, Holcim's total energy consumption decreased by 4.12%, including a further 1.41% drop in 2024, highlighting a continued decline in energy use.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy decreased by 46.3%, yet improved by 5.49% in 2024, suggesting a rebound in renewable sourcing.
Overall, Holcim’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.

Holcim's Energy Produced by Sources and Technologies
Insights into Holcim's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2024, Holcim reported total energy inflows of 62 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 58 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 4 million Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 6.45%, reflecting a 10.24% percentage point increase from the previous year (2023) and a 263.93% percentage point decrease since 2021.
Although Holcim's production share has remained steady in the most recent year, it has declined compared to earlier periods. This suggests a long-term trend toward reduced self-production, possibly reflecting changing investment priorities or greater reliance on external supply networks.
