What percentage of global CO2 emissions come from cement production?
The cement industry is responsible for approximately 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions[1]. Other estimates indicate that the steel and cement sectors combined account for 14% of global CO2 emissions[2], while another source notes that cement production specifically accounts for about 5% of annual global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions[3].
The following table summarizes the reported contributions of the cement industry to global emissions:
| Finding | Jurisdiction | Metric/value | Data vintage | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global greenhouse gas emissions share | Global | ~7% | 2020 | IFC (World Bank Group), 2020[4] |
| Global CO2 emissions share (combined with steel) | Global | 14% | 2023 | OECD, 2025[5] |
| Global anthropogenic CO2 emissions share | Global | ~5% | 2009 | World Bank, 2009[6] |
