BP has entered into an agreement with Cemex to develop solutions to decarbonise the cement production process and transportation.
These potential solutions may include low-carbon power, low-carbon transport, energy efficiency, natural carbon offsets, and carbon capture utilisation and storage technologies.
Additionally, they intend to work together to develop urbanisation solutions envisioned to decarbonise cities.
Juan Romero, executive vice president sustainability, commercial, and operations development atCemex, says: “This initiative with BP is another example of the work we are doing with partners across industries, academia, and start-ups to tap into the latest innovation and disruptive technology to achieve our ambition of delivering net-zero CO2 concrete globally to all of our customers.”
William Lin,BP‘s executive vice president, regions, cities & solutions (RC&S), says: “We know that 70% of global emissions come from transport, industry and energy and that cement making is energy intensive. Teaming up with progressive companies like Cemex, that share a net-zero ambition and have complementary capabilities, will help speed up the decarbonisation of the industry and the energy system.”
The RC&S team sets out to build relationships with cities and corporations around the world to offer decarbonised energy solutions while also decarbonisng high-tech consumer products and heavy transport.
Angélica Ruiz, BP’s head of country for Mexico and senior vice president for Latin America, says: “Our collaboration with Cemex is another step towards our ambition to be a net-zero company by 2050 or sooner and help the world to get to net-zero.”
