The report calls for urgent implementation of effective policies that promote the use of industrial waste as sustainable alternatives for fuel
COP 29 Cement and Concrete
The 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) was recently held in Baku, Azerbaijan where nations came together to explore climate targets and the difference that industries can make to the environment on a global scale.
The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) launched a new report at the conference which sets out the progress being made by the cement and concrete industry in the reduction of carbon output.
Net Zero Roadmap
Three years ago, a net – zero roadmap was issued to explore and plan how both the cement and concrete industries can achieve their sustainability targets.
Global Cement Leaders Call for Government Action
The cement and concrete industries are in the most significant transformation they have seen as they take the required steps to reduce their emissions and ultimately slow the effect of climate change.
The report calls for urgent implementation of effective policies that promote the use of industrial waste as sustainable alternatives for fuel. The industries are also taking action to focus on using construction demolition waste as recycled raw materials.
If successfully implemented, the government action will accelerate the progress that the industries are making and improve the chances of net zero being achieved, within their designated timeframes.
Mick George – Low Carbon Concrete
Recognising the importance of our own carbon emission output through concrete production processes, we are proud to introduce EnviroMix.
EnviroMix uses Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS), a by-product of the iron and steel-making industries as a replacement for some of the cement content in the concrete. Designed to replace up to 50% of the cement, GGBS is widely considered a more sustainable option compared to other cement substitutes.
