Concrete Evidence: How Green Cement Can Decarbonize The Cement Industry

Synopsis

Cement as the most consumed human-made material in the world contributes 7-8 % of CO2 emission globally and 1-2% of U.S. CO2 emissions. How can clean Hydrogen help the industry tackle the 85% of emissions related to the high heat during the chemical production process?

• How can the market develop and implement uniform standards to define low-carbon materials and enable informed procurement?
• Given the sector’s 10 to 20-year adoption cycle for new blends and materials, what strategies can be employed to accelerate the updating of standards and customer adoption?
• How can the current procurement model be restructured to attract capital at the scale required for significant decarbonization projects in the cement industry?
• What are the potential structural cost increases associated with decarbonization approaches, and how can these be avoided?
