Can Gea help decarbonize the cement industry?
Cement production is responsible for around 8% of annual global CO2 emissions. And in the future, demand for cement is expected to grow. GEA can make a significant contribution to decarbonizing the cement industry – with technology that captures 90% of these carbon emissions.
Why is CCUS important to the cement industry?
CCUS is vital to the cement industry due to the material changes that happen during the making of clinker, with calcium carbonate becoming calcium oxide with carbon dioxide (CO2) released. These emissions, which are not related to the burning of fuels, account for around 70% of a site's emissions.
Does Portland cement reduce embodied carbon?
Portland cement producers take the responsibility of reducing embodied carbon very seriously and inroads are being made to reduce emissions as far as possible before residual emissions are captured. To date the sector has reduced emissions by 53% compared to 1990.
How can we transform the cement sector?
To further transform the cement sector, novel solutions such as leveraging blockchain for transparent tracking of emissions, adopting AI-driven platforms for real-time stakeholder input, and creating cross-sectoral partnerships for shared innovations in low-carbon technologies should be explored.
