An industrial Low-carbon industry Industrial transition plansADEME publishes the summary of the sectoral transition plan for the cement industry in France 23 November 2021
In order to meet the objective of the National Low Carbon Strategy (#SNBC), which aims is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 81% by 2050 (compared to 2015) for the entire French industry, the Industry Department of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (#ADEME) is drawing up Sector Transition Plans (STPs) which model and analyse possible decarbonation trajectories for the nine most energy-intensive sectors, including the cement industry. Through a co-construction process with the sector's stakeholders, it emerged that the technological and economic challenges for decarbonising the #cement sector by up to 81% are significant.

It is particularly useful for financial institutions that have made long-term commitments (i.e. "Net Zero" commitments) and wish to implement short-term strategies to meet these commitments. CIMS can be applied at the level of the financial product, the business line or the institution as a whole. Although it is primarily designed for financial institutions, it can also be used as a basis for developing labelling or certification schemes for financial products. Download file
