Content Description

The cement industry is responsible for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the sector is particularly challenging — while one-third of emissions stem from energy use, two-thirds are a result of unavoidable chemical reactions during limestone processing. Despite these challenges, cement remains crucial for economic development and for building the clean energy infrastructure necessary for a sustainable future.
