Canada] Canada Cement Communications (CAC) stipulates the provisions of the government's investment and support measures in the Fall 2023 February February Financial Code, and the success of carbon recovery, removal, and savings (CCU) for industrial decupines. He states that it is certain. In the statement, the government agreed to promote the CCU investment tax deduction (ITC) loan system.

"CEO, CEO, President Adam Auer and CEO)," I highly appreciate that the government has recognized the importance of CCUs on the benefits of weather targets. The cement industry reduces carbon dioxide emissions. We hope, we will promote innovative technologies that meet our intentions of concrete Zero's sustainable development. "

Mineral Products Association bemoans UK budget’s lack of commitment to a UK carbon border adjustment mechanism

23 November 2023

England: The Mineral Industrial Product Manufacturer Association (MPA) responded to the English government with a proposal for the proposal of the carbon boundary adjustment mechanism (CBAM) for importing products exported by difficult industries for cement. We asked for the promised document. Later, in the final budget of the government in 2023, this was the case because the promise of developing the state CBAM was not considered. The MPA, effectively states this final "deeply disappointed."

Diana Casey, an executive director in charge of MPA energy and climate configuration, said, "The delay in adoption of CBAM pledges means that the UK is not considered to be invested. Cement is me. Most of our house, hospital, closet, and other constructions are unable to understand the need. The consistency of carbon prices between production and imports cannot be exposed to risks and is important to ensure lon g-term supply. Sure the promise of entering CBAM to cement immediately.

Seven companies in contention to buy Cement Industries of Malaysia

2023 November 22, 2023

Malaysia] The UEM Group, a subsidiary of the Malaysia Sobulin Foundation, has announced that it has listed a company that is likely to be a Malaysian cement industry (CIMA) customer. According to the Edge Malaysia magazine, the list includes four companies in Malaysia, one China, one Germany, and one in the Philippines. As has been said, more than one candidate is not considered a competitive CIMA in the cement section in Malaysia.

CIMA manages the 1. 3 million tonnes per year Bahau cement plant in Nejeri Sembilan. UEM Group announced the search for a customer for the company in February 2023, asking for a quote of $230 million.

Planned railway to support Kazakh cement exports to Kyrgyzstan

21 November 2023

Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan: The government of Kazakhstan's Zhambyl region announced its readiness for traders to assist in the construction of a steel road between the region and Kyrgyzstan. According to a Central Asia News Agency announcement, plans are in fact underway to build a cement plant in the Zhambyl region. Regional governor Yerbol Karashukev said Kyrgyzstan is attracting a "construction boom" and is also located in the number of Bishkek large markets (20 km from Lak in Zhambyl region).

Karashukeev said, "Given the sluggish market in Kyrgyzstan and the establishment of large sizes of Kazakh building materials, it is worth developing cooperation."

Building codes and low-embodied carbon building materials

November 15, 2023

Last week, U. S. aggregation services (GSA) announced that it would invest $ 2 billion in more than 150 planning systems using low carbon (LEC) materials. This fund is intended to use lo w-carbon asphalt, concrete, glass, and steel based on the inflation reduction method. For those who do not know, GSA has executed the property of the federal government of the federal government and has the opportunity to decide transactions with local government agencies. As part of this new letter, it will include a pilot plan launched in May 2023, which will then include $ 76. 7 billion in the concrete LEC plan for the federal government's house. It is possible to fully understand the absolute list of the plan.

The market in South America is estimated to be about 60 billion dollars per year. According to an evaluation, the US Federal Government spent less than 5 billion US dollars in 2018. In this way, the government has a significant share of RMX in the country, and when it begins to witness LEC products, it affects the branch. And finally, cement is considered the most important part of all concrete in real time.

This is not the first case that US parliamentarians saw on LEC concrete. In 2019, the Marine district of California proposed the world's first building standards to minimize carbon emissions in concrete production, according to his text. For this reason, he sets the emissions of simple Portland cement (OPC) and the highest value of the remarkable carbon, applying additional cement materials (SCM), introducing additives, optimizing concrete, and for example. We covered it and proposed a specific number of technologies that these suppliers had all opportunities. However, as a difference from the GSA situation adopted in November 2023, this is not only a part of the concrete purchased through government agencies, but also all ordinary concrete established within the provided range. Applied to reinforced concrete. In the United States, there are similar regional plans, such as limiting the amount of carbon used in RMX in Denver, Colorado, and reducing the amount of cement used in RMX in Berkeley, California. Tastible, which makes an environmental proposal, creates a wide range of lists of the universally recognized measures and rules that are recognized in North America, and can be seen here. The group also includes political leaders with construction strength and the current cycle.

The rules of municipalities that encourage or oblige the use of the LEC material system for infrastructure plans have been enacted in several states. The general desire is to start measurement with the support of these tools such as LCA and EPD, run for municipalities, and then set a remarkable carbon for residential carbon. In the United States, the latest statement of GSA was passed by the federal government, BUY Clean Initiative Initiative, and in 2017, BUY CLEAN CLIFORNIA ACT was passed in California. Other than the United States, such programs have been introduced in these states such as Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK. In terms of business, members of the Global Financial Forum's starting corporate coalition have pledged to purchase or witness the LEC size of cement and / or concrete by 2030. There are some cases where such a nation has substantially set carbon emissions to no n-state houses, but is still attracting attention. For example, in France and Sweden, the law was passed in 2022, an analysis of the emissions for the entire house of the house began, and set a remarkable maximum carbon value in the late 2020s. Denmark, Finland and New Zealand are also introducing similar systems. System required in the future

In the 2010s, Ecosem of Ireland tried to build a slagcement crushing factory in the Salano area of ​​Salano area in San Francisco Gulf, California. The plan was not obtained by the construction permit in response to the major opposition to the environmental issues. This drama is the fact that Slag Portland Cement is a SCM method surrounding Marine City, which is also located in the San Francisco Gulf, and has been constructed for several years. This week, Ecosem held a personal first science symposium in Paris. Many scientists who attended have called for a quick introduction of low carbon technology in the cement concrete industry. One of them is the decrease in the clinka coefficient of cement by using the products introduced by Eco Sem and other companies. In fact, it would probably have been constructed if you realized the marine widespread code and recent GSA purchase instructions earlier than Valeho's percussion plant. The recruitment of the government's lec material system will also expand, but this has the potential to be a difficult movement.
