The cement industry is a top source of CO2 emissions, but abatement pressures could prompt efforts to reimagine the business. Cement acts as the binder between aggregates (fine and coarse rocks) in the formation of concrete. The development of technologies such as carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) and carbon-cured concrete could take up to ten years. The research suggests that, in principle, the industry could reduce its 2017-level emissions by more than three-quarters.
