5.3 Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CcUS) Pilots for the Cement Sector CCUS one the few viable solutions. By addressing both process and thermal emissions, CcUs stands out as a particularly impactful option for reducing emissions in the cement industry-provided it can be scaled effectively. decarbonising the cement sector. For example, the Global Cement and for 36% emissions reduction in a global net-zero scenario by 2050. This means that out of the estimated 524 MtCO2e per year by 2070, CCUS will need to abate 157-210 MtCO,e annually (McKinsey Sustainability 2022) Overall, out of the estimated 17 GtCO2 per year demand for CCUs by 2070, 16.2 GtCO2 i.e. 95% will be met through CCS in underground storage and 0.8 however, has extensive pre-requisites related to investments and infrastructure development, which will need 5-10 years of preparation to begin being viable. Conducting route planning and environmental assessments, securing rights- of-way and constructing pipelines for the development of infrastructure.
