Cover of the publication "Decarbonising cement"

China produces more than half the world’s cement, generating 13-15% of its national CO2 emissions. Therefore, cement sector activity is critical to meeting China’s goals of peaking national emissions before 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2060. In this report we look at options for decarbonising China’s cement sector, with recommendations for the way forward, including a review of policies and regulations for the cement industry in the EU and Germany.
