Sectoral Transition Plan for the French cement industry

Summary report

Présentation

The cement industry faces major technological and economic challenges in order to achieve the decarbonisation targets set under the National low-carbon strategy (SNBC) - an 81% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 compared with 2015 for the French industry as a whole. The cement manufacturing process is energy intensive and generates hard-to-abate GHG emissions. With the modelling carried out, and based on the technologies identified, a 54% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved at best. Other solutions must therefore emerge if the sector is to meet the 81% decarbonisation target set under the SNBC for industry, especially for the period 2030-2050. Decarbonisation will require massive investments in the production tool, innovation and regional infrastructure. To maintain a decarbonisation trajectory in line with the Paris Agreements, regulation must accompany the changes in the production plants and provide a medium-term strategy to ensure the sustainability of longer-term investments and amplify the participation of financial institutions.
