Taiwan Cement Corp. has announced support for the Global Cement and Concrete Association’s (GCCA) ‘2050 Climate Ambition’ statement, along with 40 international enterprises on 01 September 2020, to continue lowering the carbon footprint of cement and RMC products, with aims to deliver carbon neutral concrete by 2050.

Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC) had obtained the first cement product carbon footprint label issued by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) in the country. Its products will be marked with carbon footprint labels from the fourth quarter of 2020.

This shows a general trend in cement products towards showing sustainability credentials from putting environmental footprint data in front of specifiers for large projects towards making it a more basic retail selling point. Lots of other cement producers around the world have done and/or are doing similar things, from the dedicated slag cement manufacturers to the larger producers routinely releasing and promoting new low-CO2 products.the CO2 footprint of a cement product will generally remain utterly intangible for most end-users.

The effects of CO2 emissions are continually analysed and debated, but the negative climate effects of cement products are more akin to someone else’s house flooding on the other side of the world 50 years later, than one’s own house falling down a decade later due to using the wrong strength cement.
