Abstract
The paper looks at the governance of the cement value chain in order to show how the cement industry pursues a strategy of entrenching the use of cement even further by recourse to climate change arguments. It thus deepens the already existing lock-in into the highly carbon emissions intensive cement paradigm and reduce the political feasibility for pricing cement’s carbon emissions. The paper identifies narratives the cement industry draws upon in conjunction with other actors from the construction value chain and shows the diverse mechanisms by which it seeks to further entrench its product. It demonstrates the additional insights that can be gained by not just looking at carbon pricing in isolation but by completing the analysis through integrating value chain specifics aspects of governance.
