Roadmap for Cement Sector Decarbonisation

Summary

India's cement sector, the world's second largest, faces a significant challenge with projected sevenfold production growth by 2070 and a corresponding surge in CO2 emissions from 246 MtCO2e in 2023 to 1,323 MtCO2e. This roadmap, published by NITI Aayog, outlines a planned strategy focusing on three core solutions: scaling carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, increasing clinker substitutes, and developing alternative fuel supply chains. The goal is to deeply decarbonize the sector, aiming for a reduction in annual emissions to 198-252 MtCO2e by 2070, while fostering economic growth and global competitiveness.
