Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Carbon and Energy within the Construction Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Marion Jammet:

When we were working on the roadmap to decarbonise the built environment we had a lot of conversation around that. We asked whether, for example, introducing a limit on one-life carbon would not achieve the same thing anyway. That probably would be achieved but because cement is such a big part of our emissions, there is benefit in addressing the cement industry specifically. That is the kind of conversation we are having.
