In order to reach the basic materials industry's net-zero emissions goal by 2050, an increase of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity is required. The cement industry alone would need a CCS capacity of *** billion tons of COâ‚‚ per year, while the steel industry would require some *** million tons of COâ‚‚ per year worth of CCS to reach the net-zero target by 2050.
