The sector, which produces about 4 billion metric tons of the world\u2019s most common building material, simultaneously puts almost 4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, or about 7% of the world\u2019s total emissions. But, thanks to leaders like Ian Riley, movement is happening. In 2019, Ian joined the World Cement Association as CEO, leading the organization\u2019s key mission of sustainability, innovation and internationalization to face the challenges associated with creating a sustainable cement industry. He is responsible for motivating members to improve product selection, use new technologies and drive innovation to find approaches for less energy-intensive and more sustainable cement production. Ian is passionate about reducing the industry\u2019s GHG emissions so as to accelerate the response to climate change and achieve full decarbonization by 2050. During this episode, Ian and I had an insightful conversation about some of the unsolved problems that are standing in the way of more sustainable cement production.
