JSW Cement, as a member of Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), has committed to ‘Climate Ambition 2050’ to deliver carbon neutral concrete by 2050.
The company is also planning to reduce its carbon emissions intensity by almost half in 11 years (from FY’15 to FY’26). The use of Biomass as fuel is an important part of this decarbonization plan.
