Roadmap to net-zero carbon concrete by 2025

Canada’s Net-zero Carbon Concrete Roadmap, published in November 2022, was developed by an Industry-Government Working Group, co-led by the Cement Association of Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. The Roadmap charts the course to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the cement and concrete sector by 15 million tons by 2030 and achieving net-zero concrete by 2050. In the longer term, priority actions include, continuing to deploy clinker substitutes and alternative clinker technologies. Actions also include harnessing new energy sources such as biogenically-derived fuels, clean hydrogen and electricity, and utilizing innovations to maximize concrete's ability to sequester carbon via a variety of carbon mineralization approaches.
