水泥是地球上消耗量仅次于水的材料。随着全球经济持续增长,预计到2050年,水泥需求将比2014年增加12-23%。与此同时,水泥也是支持其他行业向低碳经济转型的关键要素,如风能和核能生产都需要水泥;水泥是基础设施的必要成分,将被大量用于未来城市的建设。

水泥是高碳排放行业之一,由于熟料生产环节所产生的不可避免的温室气体排放问题(约占总排放量的三分之二),也因其流程中的高热量需求。水泥在全球温室气体排放总量中占比高达7-8%

水泥行业的脱碳需要尽可能提高效率,可采用的手段包括以低碳替代品(辅助胶凝材料,又称SCM)替代熟料,以垃圾衍生燃料等替代化石燃料,或采用碳捕获、利用与封存(CCUS)等技术。总体而言,水泥低碳转型中的技术升级替代、替代燃料和熟料替代方案等都需要大量的资金支持

可持续挂钩债券案例

随着转型金融市场的快速发展,可持续挂钩债券等产品已经越来越多地为高碳排放企业的低碳转型提供融资机会。截至目前,国际和国内已有多家水泥企业参与了可持续挂钩债券市场融资,共计发行了11只可持续挂钩债券。发行人包括GCC、Holcim、UltraTech Cement、Votoratim cimentos,华新水泥和红狮水泥。Holcim发行规模最大,目前累计发行1162.05亿美元。

A call for ambitious building decarbonisation measures in Europe

Buildings account for over a third of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions; the International Energy Agency estimates that 38% of the emission reductions we need to achieve by 2050 will have to come from the built environment.

Yet to date, making Europe’s buildings more energy efficient has been painfully slow. Most of the gains so far have been delivered through technological efficiencies – mainly more efficient boilers, switching to LED lighting and smarter heating controls.
