THE ROLE OF PUBLIC POLICY

Public policy will play a central role in the ability of the industry and the wider value chain to decarbonise cement and concrete over their lifecycle. A comprehensive policy framework will need to be developed. This will be a joint endeavour by industry, policymakers and governments, to:

• make low-carbon cement manufacturing investable (read more)

• stimulate demand for low-carbon concrete products (read more)

• create the infrastructure needed for a circular and net zero
manufacturing environment. (read more)

Policy asks

Policies to help achieve the transition to net zero concrete.

Carbon pricing

Carbon pricing is an approach to reducing carbon emissions that uses market-based mechanisms to pass the environmental cost of emitting on to producers and consumers.
