Major cement manufacturers have been putting in place measures to reduce the carbon footprint of the sector. These include co-processing with waste, experimenting with eco-friendly products and decarbonising the fleets used to transport their materials. “By introducing our EV fleets nationally in partnership with SAIL, we are confident we will be carbon negative by 2040,” says Mahendra Singhi, MD and CEO, DCBL. He estimates biodiesel will reduce carbon dioxide emissions from shipping lines by 25 per cent. DCBL, which pioneered the production of green cement, emphasises also on the goal of lowering carbon emissions and optimising logistics cost.
