Recommendation 23

At present, CCUS technology is the only way to decarbonise industries that generate emissions from physical or chemical processes, rather than from the combustion of fuels. For example, 60 to 70% of emissions from the cement industry come from chemical reactions during production.78 We received written evidence stating that while there are currently no operational cement plants using CCUS anywhere in the world, there is a commercial–scale plant currently under construction in Norway.79
