• Cement manufacturing is unavoidably carbon intensive. The transformation of calcium carbonate in limestone into calcium oxide is a vital step to produce clinker – a key component in cement – which is responsible for about 60% of total cement-manufacturing emissions.

• Eagle Materials has taken a number of positive steps, but a marked improvement is still required – in terms of its own production and across the industry at large – if this essential commodity is to support rather than hinder national and global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions.
