Our goal is to develop guidelines to reduce GHGs associated with the cement industry to the 1990 levels by the year 2020. These guidelines will be wide ranging and include GHG reductions in cement production and concrete applications.

This sub-group will coordinate its efforts with the other sub-groups in order to maximize the GHG savings in California and guarantee that the overall CAT goal is met.
