Türkiye: A new report presented by the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) at the COP31 Climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye on 12 November 2026 highlighted the cement and concrete industry’s progress towards achieving net zero. The report highlights action across every lever of the GCCA 2050 Net Zero Roadmap, including the use of alternative fuels (AF) and renewables, the development of supplementary cementitious materials and low-carbon concrete and advancing the adoption of innovative technologies, including carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).
The report also underscored the need for enabling policies to help bring transformative technologies to commercial scale to accelerate the industry’s net zero progress. Thomas Guillot, CEO of the GCCA, said "Our industry cannot do it alone. We need governments and policymakers to match that commitment and help us accelerate our net zero transition. With the right policies and partnerships, we can turn ambition into implementation and deliver concrete for a sustainable and resilient world.”
