In a significant development, the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) has entered into an agreement with the China Cement Association (CCA) to jointly expedite global cement decarbonisation efforts from 2024 to 2026. This collaborative initiative aims to actively contribute to the creation and introduction of the forthcoming China Cement Carbon Neutrality Roadmap. The roadmap’s development will involve the expertise of equipment supplier Sinoma International Engineering and the European Cement Research Academy (ECRA). With both GCCA and CCA collectively representing 90 per cent of global cement production capacity, this partnership underscores a concerted industry-wide commitment to address carbon neutrality challenges. It is noteworthy that GCCA had previously launched its own global net-zero roadmap in 2021.
Thomas Guillot, CEO, GCCA, said that this agreement between the China industry and the global industry is a signal to the world that the global industry is ready to deliver the essential decarbonised building materials that our planet needs. Cement and concrete enable the key infrastructure, thriving and resilient communities, clean water, safe homes and the shift to clean energy that are essential to a future sustainable world.
