China: The National Development and Reform Commission, along with other government departments, has launched the Special Action Plan for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in the Cement Industry. The plan aims to cap clinker capacity at 1.8Bnt/yr by 2026, with 30% of it above the national energy efficiency benchmark level. This will reduce energy consumption per tonne by 3.7% from 2020 levels. The plan will eliminate 13Mt of CO2 emissions and 5Mt of coal consumption in 2024 – 2025.
