Europe is accelerating its renewable and hydrogen transition to bolster energy security amid geopolitical shifts. The EU's new RFNBO Delegated Act enforces an "additionality" principle requiring new green hydrogen to use renewable power from installations no older than 36 months, located in the same grid region (bidding zone) as the hydrogen plant. Meanwhile, China remains heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels from Russia and Australia – in 2022 it spent $81.3 billion on Russian fossil fuels (up from $52 billion in 2021), and it recently resumed Australian coal imports at over 5 million tons per month. Europe's response to the energy crisis includes the €210 billion REPowerEU plan to eliminate Russian fossil fuel imports by 2027, centered on diversifying gas supply, accelerating renewables, and boosting energy efficiency. Hydrogen, as an energy vector, is a byproduct of a rapidly expanding renewable energy sector, serving as a strategic enabler for industrial decarbonization. This research effort will analyze how both continents are implementing renewables as fast as possible to secure energy resilience and build a self-sufficient, decarbonized industrial base.
Extensive deployment of carbon capture technologies is "indispensable" to the achievement of net-zero emissions, claims the European Commission. Climate modelling suggests that 280 million tonnes of CO2 must be captured annually from industrial sources by 2040. Yet with fewer than one million tonnes being captured at present the difference between the aspiration and the reality is vast. Carbon capture must be used to reduce emissions from industries that release CO2 in the making of its products, to take CO2 out of the atmosphere by capturing it from biogenic sources, and to use CO2 as a substitute for fossil fuels. National government support is essential if a business case for CCS investment is to be created. Denmark and the Netherlands are showing the way forward, but most EU governments have yet to put in place the strategies needed. Industry must raise its voice and persuade policymakers of the need to act.
An agile procurement transformation program undertaken by sustainable procurement experts with a focus on creating business growth and competitive advantage. The Sustainable Procurement successfully impacts on Planet, People and Profit. - The Sustainable Procurement Program must address the compliance of procurement fundamentals, the change management and the suppliers’ engagement. All underpinned by Ethical Leadership. - Sustainable Procurement directly tackles Scope 3 by selecting suppliers with lower carbon footprints - Embed sustainability criteria in procurement practices and suppliers’ selection process - Avoid greenwashing and train procurement teams to identify and mitigate Scope 3 greenwashing .
1. Data-Driven Sustainability: Leveraging AI and IoT for predictive analytics in carbon footprint reduction. 2. Alternative Fuels & Raw Materials: Exploring how Industry 4.5 enables the transition to sustainable materials in cement and construction. 3. Lean & ESG Synergy: How operational excellence and environmental responsibility intersect for long-term impact.
Decarbonisation is a cornerstone of the circular economy, enabling industries to reduce carbon emissions while maximising resource efficiency and minimising waste in the society along with scientific waste disposal. By shifting to renewable energy, low-carbon materials, and carbon capture technologies, decarbonisation transforms linear production into regenerative systems that support both environmental and economic resilience. This synergy accelerates the transition to a sustainable future where growth is decoupled from emissions and planetary boundaries are respected.
In the EU, policy mechanisms such as EU Green Claims Directive, CBAM and EU Fit-for-55  may lead many countries to set GWP thresholds for cement and concrete as part of their climate commitments. Several US authorities have adopted a mechanism called Buy Clean with different scopes, regulatory frameworks, and incentives for implementation. These policies measure the reduction of global warming potential of cement and concrete, and require agencies to implement a “limit” to the carbon dioxide emissions of industrial materials. This Case Study examines the State of Maryland methodology for establishing emission limits and quantifies the reductions against the industry benchmarks. The Buy Clean mandate impacts a diverse group of stakeholders, not just those who manufacture concrete. Manufacturers, architects and engineers must become aware of the limitations of the reporting tools to ensure the mandatory building requirements are still met. A clear understanding of how the policy is implemented offers insights to how the industry value chain can meet functional performance goals while maximizing the chances of successful carbon reduction of the built environment.
Climate transition finance has a vital role to play in corporate transition plans to achieve a whole economy decarbonisation. There is a growing recognition that finance in support of climate mitigation goals must be scaled up and consistent with a pathway towards a low-carbon economy. Since climate transition finance is directed at decarbonisation of a corporate entity, investors must be able to assess the economic and environmental integrity of the entire business strategy. The most suitable instrument to communicate this information is a credible and practicable corporate-level climate transition plan. A transition plan is a time-bound, trackable strategy and roadmap presenting the milestones and actions for reducing emissions with a science-based pathway to net zero. Drawing on Climate Bonds’ Cement Criteria, the presentation highlights the most ambitious decarbonisation pathways. It will also unpack how these Criteria are applied to certify projects and ensure alignment with science-based benchmarks.
Romania’s cement industry faces urgent pressure to decarbonise, as current climate policies accelerate the timeline for emissions reductions. With only one investment cycle left before 2050, the sector must rapidly transition to low-carbon technologies to remain competitive in the long term – despite limited access to funding, policy and regulatory bottlenecks, and uncertainty over market demand for green cement and who will bear its price premium. At the same time, cement remains essential to Romania’s economic development, with major infrastructure and construction investments planned in the coming years. This makes the transition to climate neutrality not only a challenge, but also a strategic opportunity. Seizing it will require coordinated action from both industry and government to deploy best available solutions, develop CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, and leverage EU and national funding to overcome initial high costs and de-risk investment – including through green public procurement and, potentially, private procurement. This presentation will explore how Romania can unlock a competitive decarbonisation pathway for its cement sector and ensure its long-term resilience in a net-zero economy.
