Cement Manufacturing Transparency Reporting. As an early industry sector responder to evolving green building requirements, PCA and its members were among contributors to the creation of 2014 Product Category Rules (PCR) on North American cements published by ASTM, Product Category Rules For Preparing an Environmental Product Declaration for Portland, Blended Hydraulic, Masonry, Mortar,
The Cement Sustainability Initiative began in 1999 when three global cement companies first came together as a group under the auspices of the WBCSD as the Working Group Cement (WGC) to explore what sustainable development meant for the cement industry. Seven other international cement manufacturers were recruited to assist in this The WBCSD
CLICK TO ENLARGE FIGURE 2 Continuous capacity increases are distorting global cement markets across regions. Currently, China has the greatest excess capacity, with a surplus of 895Mt, representing 45 percent of the total global overcapacity. 3 Europe has a capacitytoconsumption ratio of 200 percent, the highest in the world. 4 Turning to India, its Cement Manufacturers Association believes
Sustainability ultimately may be the catalyst that pushes the industry to seek growth via new business models, partnerships, and construction approaches. Cementbased concrete will remain the global construction material of choice, but sustainable construction value chains are likely to emerge on the regional and local levels, necessitating a reorientation of many corporate portfolios.
Americas cement producers have a strong culture of innovation that has led to gains in energy efficiency and new sustainable manufacturing practices that continually reduce environmental impacts. Over the last 40 years, cement manufacturers have reduced the energy used to produce a metric ton of cement by roughly 40 percent.
The Portland Cement Association (PCA) has announced Shaped by Concrete, a new educational campaign to increase awareness of the sustainability, resiliency, and durability of concrete made with cement. The campaign will feature stories, based on these themes, exploring how these construction materials shape the world around us to make our communities, cities and country better.
#0183;#32;The association will focus on driving advancements in sustainable construction, working to enhance the cement and concrete industrys contribution to a variety of global social and developmental challenges. Membership of GCCA is available for cement manufacturers from all over the world that share the organizations values,
Case studies show that concrete is a viable option as a sustainable construction material owing to its longterm impact on the environment, its energy efficiency and its thermal mass, says Cement
#0183;#32;The association promotes safety, sustainability, and innovation in all aspects of construction, fosters continuous improvement in cement manufacturing and distribution and generally promotes
#0183;#32;Changing Landscape of Cement Industry in Light of Climate Change . The continued expansion of global economies leads to a rising demand for construction materials. Driven by increasing cement consumption, the global production of cement is projected to grow to over 5 billion tonnes worldwide by 2030 [1].
Industries, environmental groups and local governments across the are increasingly working to mitigate the effects of climate change and create a more sustainable future, and this roadmap positions the cement and concrete industry as the leader in the construction sector in delivering cleaner and greener infrastructure across the country.
#0183;#32;Manufacturers and consumers often consider it a financially risky venture to invest in an innovative product or production technology. Significant changes in industrial setups also lead to raised financial expenses. The national governments need to support green cement production for meeting construction requirements.
Sustainability initiative. In 2002, the social partners in the German cement industry signed an agreement on sustainable development within the sector, thus laying the foundation for the sustainability initiative of the German cement industry.
Pilot project of four cement manufacturers plans to use captured CO2 as a raw material for the production of synthetic fuels. Building materials from HeidelbergCement are important components for sustainable construction. Cement industry starts industrialscale test phase . Invasive Alien Species Strategy.
Industry Leaders Launch Global Cement amp; Concrete Association Nine leading companies in the cement and concrete sector launched the Global Cement amp; Concrete Association (GCCA) dedicated to developing and strengthening the sectors contribution to sustainable construction.
India: A report by the Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) shows that the local cement sector is on track to meet its 2030 targets from the low carbon technology roadmap (LCTR). Direct CO 2 emission intensity fell by 5% in 2017 in the Indian cement sector compared to the 2010 baseline. CO 2 emission intensity, including onsite or captive power plant (CPP) power generation, was reduced by 6
In 2002, Canadas cement manufacturers helped to establish the World Business Council on Sustainable Development Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI). In 2006, the Canadian cement industry compiled its first comprehensive report on its implementation of the CSI. This 2008 report provides an update on
#0183;#32;The cement industry, like the rest of the construction industry, is facing unprecedented challenges relating to energy resources, CO 2 emissions and the use of alternative materials. Worldwide, the cost of energy is rising inexorably as fuel sources deplete.
