The cement sector is one of the largest contributors to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions globally, generating an estimated 7% of CO2 emissions. Easily seen as the second most-used material on Earth by humankind after fresh water, due to the perpetuated demand for cement through this unending urbanization process. The cement sector emits more than 800 kg of CO2 per ton of cement, ranked among the highest in the world, reaching 14% of the carbon produced in Egypt, compared to the global average of 600 kg per ton of cement. In 2016, Egypt ratified the Paris Agreement, submitted the National Determined Contributions (NDC), and determined to minimize CO2 emissions. However, headway toward implementing carbon capture for the cement industry has been slow-paced and uncoordinated. That is the question posed by this analysis of the case of the rollout of a green transition in the cement industry in Egypt to understand the obstacles and opportunities and develop policy actions for empowering the reduction of carbon emissions as soon as possessing a desire to bring technical assistance services elsewhere. The study adopts a quantitative methodology incorporating a content analysis of literature and industry reports to understand sustainability practices in Egypt’s cement industry and the extent to which the industry participates in decarbonization. Alternatives can be found in using alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR), as well as more efficient production processes and renewable energy sources. This chapter can help achieve an important reduction of CO2 and, at the same time, create demand for waste and renewable energy.
