Global Carbon Competitiveness

In the Era of Carbon Pricing, Carbon Competitiveness Determines Product Value
 

The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) has introduced the Low Carbon Ratings (LCR)

TCC's Global Products Are All Included


Only One in Taiwan with Dual Products Included! 

TCC Portland Limestone Cement & Portland Limestone Cement Concrete

 

TCC Aims to Produce the Lowest-carbon Construction Materials In Every Major Market.

Carbon emissions = business operating costs

The era of global carbon pricing has arrived.
Carbon reduction has become a key driver of national and corporate competitiveness.

TCC's Road Map to Net-zero Pathway for the Global Cement and Concrete Business

 

 

Prioritize carbon reduction through process optimization and alternative raw materials and fuels, with carbon capture as a last resort. Based on its Net-zero Pathway Methodology, TCC's carbon capture will contribute 18% of carbon reduction, which is relatively practical compared to the estimation of GCCA (36%) and IEA (48%).
