Extra cost of near-zero emissions cement in 2035, per tonne (IEA)
How much more the IEA expects it to cost to produce a tonne of near-zero emissions cement (a dry kiln with carbon capture and storage) than a tonne of conventional cement in 2035 under today's policies, without policy support: USD 50 to 175 per tonne, depending on the region.

As published
“Near-zero emissions cement remains significantly more expensive, and in 2035 is still 75-150% more costly (USD 50-175 per tonne) in the STEPS, in the absence of policy support and significant scale-up.”

What it covers
- Geography
- World (range across regions)
- Basis
- Levelised cost of producing cement in 2035 in the IEA's Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS): dry kiln with carbon capture and storage, compared with a dry kiln, region by region; the range runs from lower- to higher-cost regions. Excludes explicit policy support such as carbon pricing or subsidies (method note, p. 163). Projection. Real 2024 US dollars at market exchange rates (the report's convention, p. 32).
- Unit
- US dollars (2024) per tonne of cement (USD/t cement)
