The cement industry is a major contributor to climate change, responsible for about
7-8% of global CO2 emissions due to its energy-intensive production process. To
address this, transitioning to a net-zero carbon cement sector is crucial for reducing
emissions and meeting global sustainability goals. This change involves adopting
low-CO2 technologies, using alternative materials, improving energy efficiency, and
exploring carbon capture solutions. Not only will this help the environment, but it can
also drive economic growth by encouraging innovation, creating green jobs, and
building a more sustainable economy. The study conducted a systematic review of over
134 articles to explore the current emissions and strategies for mitigation. It focuses on
the need for low-CO2 technologies, policies, and economic factors, while also
addressing challenges like scaling up, investment, and infrastructure. The goal is to
create a simple plan to reduce the cement industry's environmental impact and promote
sustainability worldwide.
Questions:
1) What are some ways the cement industry can reduce its carbon emissions?
2) How can new technologies help make cement production more sustainable?
