Advance Market Commitment Policy Brief

This policy brief by RMI explores the use of advance market commitments (AMCs) as a public procurement tool to decarbonize the concrete and cement sectors, specifically focusing on the United States.

• The cement industry is a major contributor to global climate change, accounting for nearly 7 percent of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions.
• In the United States, 46 percent of the domestic demand for concrete materials is driven by the building and maintenance of national infrastructure.
• Advance market commitments (AMCs) can be used by public sector purchasers at the state and city levels to aggregate demand and unlock private capital for the development of low-carbon concrete materials and clean manufacturing processes.
