2050 Net-zero Pathway for the Cement and Concrete Business Units Worldwide

TCC's Road Map to 2050 Net-zero Pathway for the Cement and Concrete Business Units Worldwide

Contributing over 80% of emissions and 70% of revenue, Cement and Environmental Protection Business is TCC's decarbonization core. In 2024, TCC launched "2050 Cement and Environmental Protection Business Net Zero Pathway," covering all sites in Taiwan, Mainland China, CIMPOR, and OYAK Cement. Aligned with SBTi 1.5°C methodology, ISO IWA 42 Net Zero Guidelines, and IEA’s Net Zero Pathway and World Energy Outlook report, key strategies include Alternative Clinker/Raw Materials/Fuels, Power Generation by Waste Heat Recovery, Process Enhancements, Renewable Energy and Carbon Capture, with natural carbon sinks for carbon removal. TCC will extend this net-zero planning group-wide in 2026.

TCC Global Cement & Concrete Net-Zero Pathway and Carbon Reduction Performance

TCC Group Holdings' 2050 net-zero pathway for its cement and concrete operations uses 2016 as the baseline year (~53 MT CO₂e), targeting cumulative reductions of 51.72 MT CO₂e by 2050 (estimated reduction mix: alternative raw materials/clinker 42%, alternative fuels/process improvements 35%, carbon capture 18%, renewable energy/waste-heat power/other energy-saving Measures 5%), with residual emissions addressed through carbon sinks to reach net zero. The pathway aligns with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C scenario; in 2025, carbon reduction performance achieved 108% of target. The scope covers all operating sites in Taiwan, Mainland China, CIMPOR and OYAK Cement.

2025 Decarbonization Performance
Strategy	Emissions Reduced (tCO₂e)	Contribution
Alternative Raw Materials / Alternative Clinker	10,470,000	58%
Alternative Fuels / Process Enhancements	6,750,000	37%
Renewable Energy / Power Generation by Waste Heat Recovery / Other Energy-Saving Measures	970,000	5%
Total	18,190,000	100%

Avoided Emissions of TCC Business Units Worldwide

Using global standards and international methodologies, the external carbon reduction capabilities of low-carbon construction materials, renewable energy, energy storage, and the battery industry are assessed, aiming to transform and enhance corporate value through increased influence.
