INDIA'S JOURNEY TOWARDS BECOMING A robust economy largely depends on the growth of its industrial sector, with cement being its most produced commodity. In India, the major cement-consuming sectors include housing and real estate (65%), infrastructure (25%), and commercial and industrial development (10%) (AEEE 2021). In 202122, India had an annual cement consumption of 379 million tons, which is expected to increase to 550 million tons by 2025 (Statista 2022). Implementing carbon capture, use, and storage in the cement industry is necessary, not an option if the climate targets are to be met. Although no capture technology has reached commercial-scale demonstration in the cement sector yet, much progress has been made in the last decade. This work intends to provide a general overview of the CO2 capture technologies evaluated in the cement industry at the pilot scale and the current plans for future commercial demonstration (Plaza et al 2020). The leading producer is China (55%), followed in the far distance by India (8%). The market is expected to grow in the forthcoming decades by up to 12–23% by 2050 due to the increasing global population and urbanisation trends, coupled with infrastructure development needs (IEA 2018, 2020).
