A California Nevada Cement Association (CNCA) roadmap envisions three major pathways for the industry to attain net zero carbon operation by 2045: reducing production process emissions, reducing combustion emissions through fuel switching, and increasing distributed electricity generation. With 11.8 million metric tons’ clinker and 11.45 million metric tons’ grinding capacity in California (per USGS 2017 data), CNCA members can reach the benchmark by offsetting 7.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions attributable to kiln and milling process.
Last month’s release of the industry-wide document, notes Executive Director Tom Tietz, marked “an exciting and critical step toward carbon neutrality. However, we cannot get to net zero alone and this roadmap is also an invitation for state leaders, environmental groups and stakeholders throughout the cement-concrete-construction value chain to collaborate on pursuing this bold goal.” Many of the technologies, fuels, mater

The California Nevada Cement Association (CNCA) envisions three major pathways for the industry to attain net zero carbon operation by 2045. The roadmap required reducing production process emissions, reducing combustion emissions through fuel switching and increasing distributed electricity generation. Releasing this industry-wide roadmap is an exciting and critical step toward carbon neutrality, says CNCA Executive Director, Tom Tietz. However, we cannot get to net zero alone and this roadmap is also an invitation for state leaders, environmental groups and stakeholders throughout the cement-concrete-construction value chain to collaborate on pursuing this bold goal.
