Climate Biz - A podcast by International Finance Corporation

Cement is often literally the foundation of our infrastructure. It’s an essential product, but also a problematic one.  Globally, 8% of our carbon footprint comes from its production. Mahendra Singhi, CEO of India’s Dalmia Cement is taking on the problem using a multi-pronged strategy he describes as “clean, green, and profitable.” But utilizing alternative energy, better mixes & biomass to reach net zero is not enough for Singhi.
