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."
