The contribution of the cement and concrete sector to carbon removals
02 May 2022 | Publications
CEMBUREAU’s 2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap “Cementing the Green Deal” (see link) sets out the technological and innovation pathways to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 in the cement industry. These pathways span the full value chain and assess the CO2 reduction potential in both the manufacturing part of the business (clinker and cement manufacturing) as in the production, use and end-of-life of the end product, concrete, which is a key enabling building material for tomorrow’s sustainable built environment thanks to its durability, strength, recyclability and its carbonation potential. The CEMBUREAU Roadmap puts forward intermediate CO2 reduction targets of 30% (cement) and 40% (over the value chain) by 2030. Achieving the CO2 reduction targets requires significant investments ...
