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.
