Heidelberg Materials commits to reduce gross scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 26.7 per cent per tonne of cementitious material by 2030 from the base year 2020. Within this target, Heidelberg Materials commits to reduce gross scope 1 GHG emissions by 24 per cent per tonne of cementitious material and scope 2 GHG emissions by 65 per cent per tonne o... |
CEMEX validates 2050 net-zero CO2 target with SBTi09 December 2022, Published under Cement NewsCEMEX has validated its 2050 net-zero CO 2 target through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), becoming one of the first companies in the industry to do so. The validation accounts for CEMEX’s short-term 2030 targets, previously validated by the SBTi for alignment with their 1.5ºC scenario, and long-term targets along its entire value chain. CEMEX’s alignment of its roadmap to SBTi’s Net-Zero Standard reflects its confidence that it is on the right path to net-zero and to co... |
CEMEX validates its new 2030 decarbonisation goals11 November 2022, Published under Cement NewsCEMEX has validated its 2030 decarbonisation goals through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for alignment under their new 1.5ºC scenario, the most ambitious pathway defined for the industry. The company now has 2030 scope 1 goals of 47 per cent less of CO 2 per tonne of cementitious material than its 1990 baseline and 35 per cent less of carbon content in concrete. For scope 2 goals, by 2030 Cemex is targeting 65 per cent in clean electricity consumption . Th... |
TITAN updates its 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets11 November 2022, Published under Cement NewsTITAN Group has updated 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with the levels required to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C.

Heidelberg Materials submits CO2 reduction targets to SBTi13 October 2022, Published under Cement NewsHeidelberg Materials has reconfirmed its 2030 carbon reduction targets, submitting them to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for validation in line with the recently announced 1.5°C scenario. Heidelberg Materials has actively contributed to the development of the new 1.5°C framework and, in 2019 was the first company in the cement sector to have its then targets endorsed by the SBTi. “We have been actively supporting SBTi’s efforts to develop a 1.5°C roadmap and impactfu... |
Why aren't CO2 emissions falling more rapidly in the cement sector?08 July 2022, Published under Cement NewsIn the last week a report by Robert Andrew, an emissions scientist for Global Carbon Project and CICERO Centre for International Climate Research in Norway, has disclosed that CO 2 emissions from chemical and industrial processes used to manufacture cement have risen from 1.2bnt in 2002 to 2.6bnt in 2021. According to his analysis, he argues, the current decarbonisation policies of cement producers have not yet had the necessary impact to start reducing global carbon emissions. Instead, emi... |
Holcim sets 2050 entire value chain net-zero targets01 November 2021, Published under Cement NewsHolcim has set industry-first 2050 net-zero targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), building on its 2030 commitments approved in September 2020. Setting a new milestone for its sector, the group's targets cover its entire value chain, including both direct and indirect emissions, following the three ‘scopes’ established by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
