Methodology & sources

Coverage is curated from company websites, annual and sustainability reports, and cross-checked against the Global Energy Monitor Global Cement and Concrete Tracker. Capacity figures are nameplate cement capacity. Annual CO₂ is an estimate (capacity × published intensity), not audited emissions; benchmarks come from GCCA GNR, IEA and USGS.
