Call for Experts: Development of a Deep Decarbonization Roadmap for the Cement and Concrete Industry in Ethiopia

The CTCN is seeking experts to participate in the upcoming solicitation to provide technical assistance on:

Development of a Deep Decarbonization Roadmap for the Cement and Concrete Industry in Ethiopia

Deadline: 21 August 2026

Ethiopia is experiencing rapid growth in cement demand, driven by urbanization and large-scale infrastructure development. As a hard-to-abate sector, the cement and concrete industry represents an important opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while supporting the country’s continued economic development. Accelerating the adoption of low-carbon technologies, strengthening sector monitoring, and creating an enabling policy and financing environment will be critical to achieving Ethiopia’s net-zero target by 2050.

This technical assistance will support the Government of Ethiopia in developing a national deep decarbonization roadmap for the cement and concrete industry. It will strengthen the technical, policy, regulatory, and institutional foundations for sector decarbonization while establishing a robust Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement (MV&E) framework and digital reporting platform to track emissions and decarbonization actions. Some of the expected outputs include:

• Development of a sector baseline, emissions inventory, and national deep decarbonization roadmap for the cement and concrete industry;
• Establishment of an MV&E framework and deployment of the GCCA “Getting the Numbers Right” (GNR) Cement Reporting Platform;
• Assessment and prioritization of low-carbon technologies and decarbonization levers, including clinker substitution, alternative fuels, waste heat recovery, and energy-efficient grinding; and
• Development of lever-specific action programmes covering technology, policy, finance, and capacity building to support emission reductions through 2030, 2040, and 2050.
