CBMI Construction Company has become an associate corporate member of the World Cement Association. The company focuses on delivering green engineering and low-carbon solutions for the global building materials sector. Key technical priorities for the partnership include the deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), the use of alternative fuels, and the implementation of calcined clay to reduce industrial emissions.

Mentioning calcined clay and CCUS is a start, but the real hurdle in cement is the cost of retrofitting old kilns. I wonder if they have actual data on the payback periods for these specific upgrades.
The tech only moves if the carbon price makes the old way too expensive. Without a strict regional carbon tax or credit system, these low carbon solutions remain optional upgrades rather than requirements.
CCUS requires massive amounts of energy to run the capture process. Does this partnership include a plan for the grid upgrades needed to power these plants without offsetting the carbon gains?
