The EU cement industry has an ambitious decarbonisation agenda, which requires the deployment of breakthrough decarbonisation technologies and zero-carbon energy as soon as possible. CEMBUREAU therefore supports the Net Zero Industry Act as a significant opportunity to scale up investments in Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) and other clean technologies.
In particular, the setting of an EU 2030 target for CO2 injection capacity and the creation of clear transparency requirements for Member States on CO2 storage capacity data offer considerable potential to improve the business case for carbon capture investments.
