Cement is an integral part of our modern civilization. Used for the manufacture of concrete, the second most consumed product on the planet after water, cement plays a key role in meeting our societies' needs for housing and infrastructure.

There is much to do and investments are not currently sufficient, but some levers like carbon capture and storage could play a major role in this task.
