Industry event in Hyderabad focusing on cement decarbonization. They launched a report on carbon capture economics, which is the real hurdle for this sector.

Low carbon materials sound great, but the actual adoption depends on whether the building codes and architects in India accept these alternatives without risking structural integrity.

The mention of performance based standards is the most important part here. If you regulate by material composition instead of performance, you kill innovation in green cement.

Carbon capture is energy intensive. I wonder if the report addresses where the extra power comes from and if the local grid can handle the load for these plants.
