Cement

A hard-to-abate sector where credible clinker accounting, alternative fuels and process-emission roadmaps define the path to compliance and competitiveness.

Sector context

Where the pressure sits in cement

Challenges

Process emissions from calcination are unavoidable and represent a large share of the footprint, alongside significant fuel use and energy intensity.

Emissions & resource considerations

Clinker substitution, alternative fuels and energy efficiency move the near-term number, while carbon capture and utilisation remain longer-horizon levers. Scope 3 sits largely in raw materials and transport.

Reporting context

BRSR Core for listed producers, product carbon footprinting for construction customers, and CBAM for cement exports to the EU.
