Cement
AAG entered into the cement business by setting up its 1st Cement Manufacturing Plant of European origin of 0.945 million tons per year in 1997 which was upgraded to 1.17 million tons per year in 2005. During the years upto 2011, AAG being an already established producer of top-quality cement in Pakistan added its 2nd Line and enhanced its capacity to 3.56 million tons per year.
AAG now operates one Cement manufacturing plant and one Polypropylene Cement Bag manufacturing plant. Plants are located at Jhang Bahtar and Hattar which gives it tremendous opportunity to tap into different markets having high cement demand. It is the largest cement supplier to all major Hydro Power Projects in Pakistan which was made possible by AAG’s quality of cement and catering to the specific product needs of such projects. AAG’s Plants feature cutting-edge manufacturing equipment and advanced emission control technologies, demonstrating AAG’s commitment to sustainable growth and environmental responsibility.
The AAG installed 68 MWp Solar Parks and 65 MW Waste Heat Recovery Plants to generate and consume clean energy. AAG has improved its energy mix (Renewable 50%) by demonstrating a decrease in purchased energy and an increase in self-generation from renewable sources (Solar Parks and Waste Heat Recovery Plants).
AAG is taking all the possible mitigation measures to reduce CO2 emissions throughout value-chain activities. Our sectoral decarbonization approach is aligned with best global practices and AAG decarbonization levers includes but not limited to the consumption of alternative fuels to reduce fossil fuels consumption, consumption of supplementary cementitious materials to produce low carbon products, improving renewable energy share by extended solar parks, planting trees (afforestation) and developing orchards to improving carbon sequestration and conservation etc. These efforts avoided significant portion of carbon emissions (534,364 tCO2e) during FY 2023-24 and we are committed to strengthening our sustainable manufacturing practices
