In an endeavour to achieve India's commitment to reduce carbon emissions, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) India on 17th August announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate sustainable development of cement and concrete sectors. "Under the MoU, TERI will provide its domain expertise and knowledge to support GCCA India's work to achieve sustainability in the Indian cement and concrete sector," it said. The collaboration will see TERI's involvement in GCCA India work programs while GCCA India and its members will support TERI's projects on technology innovation, energy efficiency enhancement, and resource efficiency implementation. "The demand for cement and concrete will only increase in the decades to come due to population growth and urbanisation. Therefore, reducing CO2 emissions in the cement and concrete industry is critically important," said Mahendra Singhi, Chair, GCCA India. TERI Director General Vibha Dhawan said the MoU will help accelerate decarbonisation of the cement sector. "The Indian cement and concrete industry has made significant reductions to its carbon emissions in recent years. We are excited to work with GCCA India and its members to accelerate the decarbonisation of the sector and improving sustainable development," he said.
