CEMBUREAU, the European Cement Association, published their updated Net-zero Roadmap that outlines the sector’s climate goals along the cement and concrete value chain.
The updated roadmap showcased the progress achieved since they published their carbon neutrality roadmap in May 2020. Since there have been significant strides in decarbonisation projects throughout the EU industry, the sector’s revised ambitions will now look at a projected 37 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions in cement production and 50 per cent in the value chain by 2030 that furthers to a 78 per cent reduction on cement and 93 per cent in the value chain by 2040 and by 2050 the roadmap projects net-zero cement production in EU with aims to then become carbon negative over the value chain.

Key policy measures include:

Implementing a watertight Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Building up financial support to enable decarbonisation investments.
Guaranteed access to cost effective decarbonised energy, infrastructure and raw materials.
Creating lead markets for low carbon, circular products.

The American Cement Association projects a nearly 1Mt annual increase in US cement demand over the next three years, driven by the surge in AI data centres. Consumption by data centres is expected to grow from 247,000 tonnes in 2025 to 860,000 tonnes by 2027. With over 5,400 AI data centres currently operating and numbers forecast to exceed 6,000 by 2027, the association cautions that regulatory hurdles and labour shortages may impact the industry’s ability to meet demand.
