Manufacturing a Low-Carbon Society: How Can We Reduce Emissions from Cement

This text is a brief overview from the NewClimate Institute regarding a Climate Action Tracker examination of the steel and cement sectors, highlighting the insufficiency of current technologies to meet the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit.

• Current technologies for decarbonising the steel and cement industries are likely insufficient to meet the 1.5°C limit established by the Paris Agreement.
• Combining improvements in efficiency with the decarbonisation of energy supply could reduce emissions for steel and cement by approximately 30% to 50% below current trends by the year 2050.
• Further decarbonisation of heavy industry requires a transition to innovative low-carbon technologies, circular production routes, product substitutions, and the potential industrial-scale use of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), supported by targeted RD&D efforts.
