CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM THE GLOBAL CEMENT INDUSTRY

Abstract: ▪ Abstract  The cement industry contributes about 5% to global anthropogenic CO2 emissions, making the cement industry an important sector for CO2-emission mitigation strategies. CO2 is emitted from the calcination process of limestone, from combustion of fuels in the kiln, as well as from power generation. In this paper, we review the total CO2 emissions from cement making, including process and energy-related emissions. Currently, most available data only includes the process emissions. We also discuss CO2 e… Show more

“…The Ca(2) octahedron is less compressed than that of Ca (1), 59 which would result in a smaller C q . Considering that the average Ca-O distance in the site Ca (2) is larger than that for the Ca(1) site (2.391 Å compared to 2.338 Å ), the isotropic chemical shift of Ca (2) is expected 23,24 to be somewhat smaller than Ca (1). Combining this all together, the region D can be tentatively assigned to the Ca(2).…”

“…It was estimated, that the cement industry contributes to about 5% of the global CO 2 emissions, making it an important sector for CO 2 -emission mitigation strategies. 1 Understandably, even minor improvements in the technological process of cement production will lead to a significant saving in energy. The same can be argued about development of cements with improved properties and various additives that lower the amounts of cement in concrete and increase its quality.…”

“…In environmental aspect, the production of these materials has associated with high energy consumption and the release of attributed greenhouse gases (Worrell et al, 2001;Pandian et al, 2002;Klee, 2008). As the environmental regulations get tougher and more restricted, alternative materials that offer economically effective should be explored.…”

“…The production of one ton of Portland cement requires about 4 GJ of energy and about 1.7 tons of raw materials (limestone and shale) which leads to environmental destruction and pollution problem (Malhotra 2000;Sabir et al 2001;Worrell et al 2001). There is a clear need to find materials which can be used as cement replacement material.…”
