Options for decarbonising the cement and steel industries

October 17, 2017

Heavy industry is responsible for large amounts of carbon emissions, but this briefing from consultancy Ecofys argues that reductions of between 30% and 50% could be achieved in the cement and steel sectors through improvements in efficiency and decarbonisation of energy supplies.

Other options include adoption of low-carbon technology, adapting supply chain loops to circular economy principles of re-using or minimising waste, product substitution, and carbon capture and storage where complete decarbonisation is not possible.
