As of December 31, 2019, CEMEX Colombia owned two operating cement plants and two cement grinding mills, having a total installed cement capacity of 4.1 million tons. In 2019, we replaced 11.3% of our total fuel consumed in CEMEX Colombia with alternative fuels, and we had an internal electricity generating capacity of approximately 37 MW as of December 31, 2019. We estimate that, as of December 31, 2019, the limestone and clay permitted proven and probable reserves of our operations in Colombia had an average remaining life of 75 and 185 years, respectively, assuming 2015-2019 average annual cement production levels. The operating licenses for quarries in Colombia are renewed every 30 years; assuming renewal of such licenses, we estimate having sufficient limestone reserves for our operations in Colombia for over 70 years assuming 2015-2019 average annual cement production levels. As of December 31, 2019, CEMEX Colombia also operated 15 land distribution centers, one mortar plant (temporarily inactive), 56 ready-mix concrete plants (21 were temporarily inactive) and 10 aggregates operations (eight were temporarily inactive).
