The cement sector currently produces 7% of anthropogenic CO
2 emissions. As populations increase and developing nations continue to urbanize, reaching global net-zero targets by 2050 presents a major challenge for cement players: how can the construction sector decrease its CO
2 emissions at the same time as meeting rising demand for concrete? According to the new IDTechEx report "
Decarbonization of Cement 2025-2035: Technologies, Market Forecasts, and Players", the key cement decarbonization technologies for the decade ahead will be supplementary cementitious materials, alternative fuels, and CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage).
This webinar will analyse regional, economic, and technological trends for decarbonization in the cement sector. Identification of promising investment areas will be enabled through discussion of technology benchmarking, opportunities, and barriers. Decarbonization potential will be explored, evaluating global cement sector progress towards net-zero targets.
This webinar will reveal insights into the cement decarbonization space and its content includes:
- Discussion of key drivers and barriers for cement sector decarbonization, including stimulating public sector and private sector demand
- Benchmarking the most impactful cement decarbonization technologies over the coming decade (leading supplementary cementitious materials, biomass-based fuels, waste-derived fuels, and CCUS), alongside emerging cement decarbonization technologies (new cement production processes and materials, kiln electrification, concentrated solar power, hydrogen)
- Contextualizing the impact of cement decarbonization technologies in 2035 within global progress towards net-zero by 2050
