| | New research highlights technologies that can cut 0.8 Gt per year of CO2 emissions from cement production by 2030 | |
|
| New research by climate tech pioneer Carbon Re has found that the cement industry could deploy a combination of 13 existing technologies to reduce CO2 emissions by 0.8 gigatonnes per year. This is equivalent to the total annual greenhouse gas emissions of the United Kingdom and France, combined. What is more, the combination of just three technologies can deliver 81% of this impact according to the Carbon Re report “Three technologies to reduce climate change”. These are: Substitute Cementitious Materials (SCM); biomass and waste alternative fuels; and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve processes.
