摘要

In the face of global climate change it will be imperative to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout the world over the next few decades. "We are well aware of our responsibility, and the cement industry in Germany is willing to make its contribution towards achieving climate neutrality in the future" says Christian Knell, President of the German Cement Works Association (VDZ).The newVDZ study, "Decarbonising cement and concrete: A CO_2 roadmap for the German cement industry" shows possible ways of mastering this transformation by the year 2050.
