Cement emissions intensity has remained relatively stable since 2018, at just under 0.6 t CO 2 per tonne of cement produced, following several years of modest increase largely due to an increasing clinker-to-cement ratio in China. To get on track with the NZE Scenario, emissions must fall by an average of 3% annually through to 2030.
The cement industry's CO 2 emissions can be reduced by improving the energy efficiency of the process, using low carbon fuels or alternative fuels (e.g., waste-derived fuels, maintaining a lower clinker-to-cement ratio), and removing CO 2 from flue gases (Valderrama et al. Citation 2012). Many of these techniques have already been …
