Cutting carbon from industry
How can the world cut carbon from some of its biggest industries, helping to limit global warming to 1.5°C, the more ambitious climate goal of the UN Paris Agreement? Explore lower-carbon ways to produce the cement, steel and chemicals that help build the modern world.
Cement
Cement... it’s all around us. But producing it generates a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions every year. So, what can be done to help cut carbon from the cement-making process?
Meet Per and Cristel who are working to reduce emissions from a cement plant in Norway by capturing CO2 and storing it safely below the Earth’s surface.
Want to know more about cutting carbon from cement and why industry emissions are important to governments?
The Energy Podcast’s Julia Streets puts hard questions to leading experts. Featuring Kristin Myskja, Director General of the Climate, Industry and Technology Department at the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, and Audny van Helden, VP Energy Marketing, Sectors and Decarbonisation, Shell.
