Cement Manufacturers Ireland (CMI) was established in Ibec in 2003 as the representative body for Ireland’sindigenous cement manufacturing industry, which dates back over 80 years to the mid-1930’s. Today CMI has three members in the Republic of Ireland; Breedon Cement, Irish Cement, and Mannok Cement.

The cement industry has a long heritage, providing local employment, maximising resource efficiency and producing high quality cement products. Our cement has been the essential foundation of Ireland’s current building stock and will continue to be a critical element as Ireland transitions to a more sustainable built environment.

Our member companies operate modern manufacturing facilities to the highest international and European standards supporting over 2,000 direct and indirect jobs in Ireland. The members compete on the island of Ireland to supply cement products to the domestic construction market and also export to overseas markets.

CMI is a member of Cembureau, the European Cement Association and an Associate Member of the Global Cement and Concrete Association.

An Assessment of CCUS & the Cement Industry in Ireland

CMI members are conscious of the Irish government’s climate ambitions and the goal of balancing economic competitiveness with its climate commitments. In this context CMI commissioned Arup to develop this policy informing paper with the following aims:

  • to assess whether Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) has a key role to play in achieving Ireland’s greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement targets.
  • to identify key recommendations for the Irish Government to support investment in CCUS for the cement industry in Ireland.
