CO₂ Emissions (Tonnes CO₂/year)
cement production is a major CO₂ emitter, and the emissions hotspots overlap with high-capacity production zones. These are the areas where decarbonisation efforts can yield the highest climate benefits. This sets the stage for CCS deployment: by capturing emissions from these high-impact sites, we can produce blue cement while retaining existing infrastructure.

CO₂ emissions from blue cement (Tonnes CO₂/year)
While integrating CCS into conventional cement production significantly reduces emissions, the resulting increase in production costs renders blue cement economically unviable in the absence of strong market-based interventions to generate sufficient demand-pull
