The associations in question represent companies that produce cement, glass, iron, steel, nonferrous metals, petrochemicals, and chemicals. The trade associations will be carrying out work related to (1) allocation and benchmark calculation, (2) test operation of the supporting systems, (3) MRV, (4) serve as a link between companies and government, and (5) capacity-building.
