Cement Sector Program in Sub-Saharan Africa: Barriers Analysis to CDM and Solutions

This analytical report identifies the barriers that project managers encountered in the implementation of projects to cut down cement industry greenhouse gas emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa). The document develops recommendations to address these obstacles based on lessons learnt from the Indian cement sector. The study also looks at all existing project proposals and identifies new opportunities in four main areas for CO2 emissions reduction: energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, fuel switch with biomass, and clinker substitution with alternative raw materials.
