Recommendation
We recommend that the Government investigate possible ways, beyond public procurement, to incentivise the use of low-carbon cement to ensure that these cement alternatives become the product type of choice by 2030. This should include an assessment of the feasibility of restricting the disposal of a range of waste products, so as to facilitate their use as clinker substitutes, as is the case in the Netherlands.
Government Response Summary
The Government will work with manufacturers through the GCB to understand the opportunities and barriers to decarbonise cement manufacture, as well as individual manufacturer plans, for policy development.

Acknowledged
The Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy contained an action to “work with the cement sector to explore options to decarbonise sites in dispersed locations.” To advance this, the Government will work with manufacturers through the GCB to better understand the opportunities and barriers to decarbonise the manufacture of cement, as well as plans by individual manufacturers, for the purposes of supporting policy development.
