The EU carbon border tax will force others to cut emissions from 2026.
In 2026, the European Union will start charging a carbon-emissions-based tax, the carbon border adjustment mechanism, on imported goods such as steel, cement and fertilisers – and countries including the UK are likely to follow.

Can a cement plant turn its flue gas into rock?
Holcim + 44.01 are piloting 5 t/day of CO₂ capture and mineralisation in Fujairah, plugging cement into peridotite rock beneath the UAE. Tiny tonnage, big implications for a 7–8% slice of global emissions.

"The Chilean port of #Quintero and adjacent #Puchuncaví have been pointed out as a #SacrificeZone. The zone hosts the #coal-fired #Ventanas Power Plant, an #OilRefinery, a #cement storage, #FundiciónVentanas, a #CopperSmelter and refinery, a lubricant factory and a chemical terminal. In total 15 polluting companies operate in the area. In 2011, #EscuelaLaGreda located in #Puchuncaví, was engulfed in a #ChemicalCloud from the #VentanasIndustrialComplex. The #SulfurCloud poisoned an estimated 33 children and 9 teachers, resulting in the relocation of the school. The old location of the school is now abandoned. In August and September 2018 there was a public health crisis in Quintero and Puchuncaví, where over 300 people experienced illness from toxic substances in the air, coming from the polluting industries."

They're building a new house nearby. These days they use a pump truck to precisely move the cement from the cement truck to the footings for the house. They do the same thing once they get the forms in for the walls in the house. But you can't let cement dry inside the pump hoses, so how do they clean them? Nerf balls to the rescue!
Put them in the tubes and flush them with water. So satisfying!
