Scoping study: CCUS and circularity in building materials
report
The Ministry of Economic Affairs has requested TNO to build knowledge around the scope 3
emissions impacts of innovative industrial processes. Since last year, TNO has been assessing the full value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of certain innovative technologies in industry, including bio-based and circular value chains in the chemicals and refining sectors. As part of this study, the ministry has indicated their interest in carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and circularity in building materials. This scoping study was conducted about those options, with a focus on cement and concrete value chains.
The objective of this study was to identify promising value chains within the building
materials sectors for further analysis via life cycle assessment (LCA). Two possibilities were identified in scoping this work: carbon capture and utilisation in concrete production and increased circularity in cement and concrete value chains. The scoping study aims to
determine whether it would be worthwhile to conduct an LCA of these value chains, and if
so, which cases would be the most useful to analyse from the perspective of reducing life
cycle emissions from Dutch industrial activities.
