Global CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from cement production

Abstract: Abstract. The global production of cement has grown very rapidly in recent years, and after fossil fuels and land-use change, it is the third-largest source of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide. The required data for estimating emissions from global cement production are poor, and it has been recognised that some global estimates are significantly inflated. Here we assemble a large variety of available datasets and prioritise official data and emission factors, including estimates submitted to the UNFC… Show more

“…Estimates of emissions from cement production are based on USGS (USGS, 2017), applying the emission factors from CDIAC (Marland and Rotty, 1984). The CDIAC cement emissions are known to be high and are likely to be revised downwards next year (Andrew, 2018). Some fraction of the CaO and MgO in cement is returned to the carbonate form during cement weathering but this is omitted here (Xi et al, 2016).…”

“…The OPC production process is one of the main causes of the global warming process, causing approximately 7-8% of global warming CO2 emissions (García-Lodeiro et al 2015;Andrew 2018).…”

“…Humans have been dealing with the problems caused by global warming for a long time. The rapidly increasing population and need for shelter caused the concrete industry to spread carbon dioxide to the environment, accounting for approximately 7-8% of the total emissions [3,4].Mainly clinker is responsible for this problem. It is a crucial phase of cement production, and the burning of raw materials around 1450 0C generates carbon-dioxide [5].…”
