Paris Agreement · SDG 13 — Climate Action
01
Global
The Paris Agreement
International climate framework (UNFCCC) aimed at holding warming well below
2 °C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5 °C.
How NuGreen aligns
Reducing the embodied carbon of cement and concrete supports the deep emissions
reductions required across global infrastructure and the built environment.
~81%less carbon*Benchmark comparison
02
United Nations
SDG 13 — Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
How NuGreen aligns
Lower-carbon construction materials can help reduce emissions associated with
expanding cities, infrastructure and industrial development.

03
United States
U.S. Low-Carbon Cement & Industrial Decarbonization
U.S. industrial policy increasingly targets emissions reductions from hard-to-abate
materials, including cement and concrete.
How NuGreen aligns
No Portland clinker, elimination of clinker calcination, industrial byproduct
utilization and substantially lower lifecycle carbon directly address major
cement-decarbonization pathways.
No clinker·~57%lower primary energy*Benchmark comparison
04
European Union
European Green Deal + CBAM
The EU targets climate neutrality while increasingly accounting for the embedded
emissions of carbon-intensive products — including cement — traded into the
European market.
How NuGreen aligns
Lower embodied-carbon cement and documented emissions performance can become
increasingly valuable as carbon intensity becomes a procurement and trade
consideration.

Gulf
Gulf Net-Zero Development
Saudi Arabia — Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative, with a net-zero ambition
by 2060. UAE — the Net Zero 2050 Strategy, a national pathway toward net zero by
2050.
How NuGreen aligns
Some of the world's largest infrastructure programs are being developed alongside
national decarbonization strategies. Lower-carbon cement can reduce embodied
emissions at the material level without requiring wholesale replacement of
conventional concrete production infrastructure.

India
India Net Zero 2070
India has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 while continuing to
build infrastructure at enormous scale.
How NuGreen aligns
Reducing cement-related embodied carbon while utilizing industrial mineral
byproducts can support lower-carbon roads, housing and infrastructure as
construction demand expands.
