This report primarily focuses on decarbonisation pathways within cement manufacturing, which constitutes about 95% of emissions. The main contributors to emissions include raw material processing,
heat generation, and electricity production. The report focuses on green hydrogen integration, plasma generators powered by renewable electricity, and biomethane production.
Moreover, the report examines case studies of emerging technology providers, including pathways for direct or indirect electrification of energy requirements. Finally, there are recommendations for expediting the adoption of these technologies in the Indian cement sector. It emphasises the importance of policy and financial support alongside collaborative efforts between industry stakeholders and policymakers to facilitate the transition towards a decarbonised cement sector. Focused initiatives aimed at scaling up emerging technologies and creating an enabling environment for innovation will be critical in achieving sustainable and lowcarbon cement production in India.
