Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) India–NCB Carbon Uptake Report, highlighting the assessment of CO2 uptake through carbonation in concrete in the Indian context, was released on Friday. It notes that cement industry contributes about 7% of total anthropogenic emissions and is considered a hard-to-abate sector due to process-related CO2 emissions arising from calcination of limestone.
