CCS is a new technology, not yet proven at the industrial scale in cement production, but potentially promising. CO₂ is captured as it is emitted, compressed to a liquid, then transported in pipelines to be permanently stored deep underground. Cement is a global commodity, manufactured at thousands of plants. The industry is consolidating globally, but large international firms account for only 30% of the worldwide market. The principal and most visible market for cement is the construction industry in a multitude of applications where it is combined with water to make concrete.
