The Alliance for Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete (ALCC) was established by 12 decarbonisation-focused companies from the European cement and concrete sector.

The partnership has urged decision-makers to reform construction codes so that low-carbon substitutes can compete in the cement and concrete industries. Furthermore, it said
that sectors CO2 emissions would be decreased through green procurement and tailored financial instruments. According to the report, lowering the clinker factor to 60 per cent, 50 per cent, or 40 per cent by 2050 will result in a more than 50 per cent reduction in
CO2 emissions.
According to the ALCC, it is prepared to guide the industry down a quick, affordable, and viable decarbonisation track. The cooperation includes Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies from France, Ecocem from Ireland, and Fortera from the United States.
Fortera’s Europe director Thierry Legrand said “Climate action is a global priority, and collaboration is essential to advancing emissions-reducing technologies and policies. This alliance represents collective action by scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and environmental advocates to reduce CO2 emissions from cement production.”
