Print this page

US: The California State Senate has voted in favour of a bill to implement the US’s most advanced statutory framework for cement industry decarbonisation by 74 votes to two. The statute provides for the implementation of lifecycle CO2 emissions reporting for cement produced in the state at an estimated cost of US$220,000/yr. The California Air Resources Board will then implement a ‘programme developed as a result of identified strategies’ at an ‘unknown but significant cost.’ The aim of the strategy will be to facilitate a 40% reduction in cement production’s CO2 emissions between 2019 and 2030 and the attainment of net zero cement production by 2045.
