GCCA at COP29: Azerbaijan Cement Industry Net ZeroRoadmap Launch

Climate change is increasingly seen as a major threat to our planet and humanity, making it essential for us to achieve net zero emissions. In line with this global imperative, our Net Zero Roadmap outlines our commitment to creating a clear path towards reaching net zero by 2050. This roadmap details the strategies adopted by Azerbaijan's cement producers to significantly reduce carbon emissions across the entire cement and concrete value chain. Key initiatives include reducing the clinker factor, a major contributor to carbon emissions in cement production, developing alternative fuels, implementing efficient construction designs, and advancing carbon capture technologies.

About ASİA The Azerbaijan Cement Producers Association was established in 2024 through the joint efforts of industry participants “Norm” OJSC, Holcim Azerbaijan, Arkoz Cement, and Reges Cement. The association launched the Net Zero Accelerator in May 2024, and the Net Zero Roadmap has been prepared using the methodology of the GCCA (Global Cement and Concrete Association) with the expertise of ECRA (European Cement Research Academy).
