Relevance of INDCs
for Indian Cement Industry
Present status of Carbon Emissions
• Cement Industry in India accounted for 7 % of country’s
total energy and process CO2 emissions in 2010
• Second largest cement producer after China
• Per capita cement consumption is only about 1/6th of
China
• Specific carbon emissions are amongst lowest in
the world
• Cement industry in India is one of the most energy
efficient (second only to Japan)
• Challenge is achievement of low carbon growth of
Cement Industry

Roadmap covers data from 65% of Indian cement industry through CSI’s Getting
the Numbers Right (GNR) database and detailed questionnaires to industry
Key messages
• Roadmap outlines possible transition path for Indian cement industry to
support global goal of halving CO2 emissions by 2050
• BAU: 488 Million tonnes (Mt) CO2 and 835 MtCO2 by 2050 [represents
255% (low demand case) to 510% (high demand case) increase compared
to 2010 emissions]
• Roadmap projections: Reduction of direct CO2 emissions intensity to
0.35 tonnes (t) of CO2/t cement in 2050 - about 45% lower than 2010
levels, a saving of between 212 MtCO2 (100% growth) and 367 MtCO2
(240% growth) compared to BAU scenario
• Attainable only with supportive policy framework, technology
development and appropriate financial resources invested over long
term
• Key levers: Energy efficiency, clinker substitution, alternative fuels and raw
materials, Waste Heat Recovery, new technologies (including CCS)
Key Levers for Carbon Emission

Enabling Environment
(Policy, Technology, Finance)
Needed
Key policy issues
• Energy Efficiency
– Incentivizing Super Energy Efficient products
• Alternate Fuel Utilization
– Landfill of wastes still prevalent (MSW, Haz and non Haz waste)
– Preprocessing of waste needs encouragement
– Surplus Biomass burnt in the Fields to be used as AF
• Newer types of cement
– Composite Cement, Increased substitution in PPC / PSC
• Waste Heat Recovery
– High capital cost and no policy support
– According RE status for faster adoption
• Carbon Capture and Storage R&D
– Soft financing, innovative financing models, GCF funds
AFR - support needed
• Ease of permitting process for using multiple
wastes
• Encouraging pre-processing sector to produce
cement grade waste
• Implementing polluter pays principle for all
wastes
• Discouraging landfilling of combustible waste
• ULB’s to take lead for the disposal of MSW by
converting it to cement grade RDF
Reducing Clinker Factor - Support needed
• Taking appropriate steps to make dry fly ash
available at all cement plants at a reasonable
cost
• Ensuring 100 % Granulation of slag at all steel
plants and reasonable cost of slag
• Encouraging use of Low Energy content
Blended Cements for all applications
• Permitting higher % of Fly ash and slag in PPC
and PSC blends
WHR - support needed
• WHR installation is economically unviable due
to high investment cost and lack of incentives
to the industry for installation of WHR system
• According Renewable Energy status for faster
adoption
Financial Support required from GCF
Investment Needs
Notes: Investments for alternative fuels relates to onsite investment to store, load and feed kilns with
AFR, and eventually the change of burners and/or emission abatement systems. Investments in carbon
capture do not include the cost of transportation and the eventual use or permanent storage of carbon.
GCF Funds Requirement
• For incentivizing WHR projects
• Promoting R&D activities to develop very low clinker factor
cement.
• Demo projects for cement fuel grade RDF from MSW
• Setting up preprocessing plants for industrial wastes
• Transfer of green technologies from other countries
• Innovation fund to develop indigenous technologies for
Carbon Capture and Storage.
• R&D funds for converting carbon emission to useful products
