India is the second largest cement and steel producer, with capacity to produce approx. 7% of global production for both.
To urgently kickstart the decarbonisation of these fundamental materials, the government of India should formally begin green public procurement. Strong signals from the public sector will provide the demand certainty that cement & steel producers need to invest in decarbonising at the scale required.
To help support this goal, Build Ahead has created a flexible, feasible, and commercially viable framework for the government to readily adopt, based on the Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative’s Green Procurement Pledge. Our framework ensures the industry has enough lead time to adjust to more stringent requirements, while generating immediate value through emissions reductions.
