Critical factors for a transformation to the cement and concrete industry

  • Reducing clinker in concrete, by increasing the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cement production and making concrete production more efficient
  • Increasing concrete efficiency in design and construction
  • Capturing and eliminating the remaining clinker emissions through CCUS
  • Additional, smaller gains will come from electricity decarbonisation.

Global burden of cement production

Industry-endorsed strategy

In 2023, we developed a Concrete and Cement Sector Transition Strategy with input from a diverse set of industry stakeholders. This provides a shared vision for a clean concrete and cement future, modelling of pathways, real economy milestones and the industry, policy and finance actions required to get there. Assumptions have not been updated since publication, but the STS still represents a quantitative reference point.
