²reduction along the cement value chain (5Cs: clinker, cement, concrete, construction, re-carbonation)
Full value chain approach
Significant investments
Need legal certainty

CEMENT & CONCRETE KEY ENABLERS FOR THE LOW CARBON ECONOMY
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT RENEWABLE ENERGY SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
Quarries Clinker Cement Cement(10%-15%)
Water(15%-20%)
Aggregates(65%-75%)
Concrete
limestone grinding

• Trade patterns in cement are impacted by:
• The increase of cement production capacity at the EU’s doorstep (70 million tonnes of integrated new capacity between 2018-2025), with low capacity utilisation (40-60%)
• New “business models” emerging through the import of CO2-intensive clinker into grinding installations based in the EU

• CBAM – ETS: linked as part of the Fit for 55 package / environmental measure which also addresses both aspects of carbon leakage (relocation risk + imports of CO2 intensive products)
• Recital 13 Draft Regulation “The CBAM addresses the risk of carbon leakage by ensuring equivalent carbon pricing for imported and domestic products.” (see also Article 1(2))
• Watertight CBAM requires Exports need to be addressed
Indirect costs in scope / Transport
Measuring emissions / installations (ETS) vs products (CBAM)
Timing: imports increasing now / changing business models
Coherence and legal certainty: how to ensure consistency in co-decision across the whole “Fit for 55” package ?
