QA: Why cement emissions matter for climate change
13.09.2018A further 40% of cement emissions come from burning fossil fuels to heat kilns to the high temperatures needed for this calcination process. The last 10% of emissions come from fuels needed to mine and transport the raw materials. Therefore, cement emissions depend largely on the proportion of clinker used in each tonne of cement.

many decarbonization pathways suggest that direct specific emission levels of around 350 – 410 kg co 2 /t cement will be required. (1, 3) however, increasing clinker substitution, alternative fuel use, and thermal energy efficiency (1) can only lead to specific emissions per tonne of cement falling from 730 kg co 2 /t cement in 2009 to about

Emissions from the Cement Industry
09.05.2012Cement manufacturing is highly energy- and emissions-intensive because of the extreme heat required to produce it. Producing a ton of cement requires 4.7 million BTU of energy, equivalent to about 400 pounds of coal, and generates nearly a ton of CO 2.

Strengthening Sustainability in the Cement Industry
16.11.2021The cement industry also generates about 7 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. While manufacturers have reduced emissions in recent decades, the industry must accelerate these efforts considerably if it is to meet its goal of achieving carbon-neutral concrete by 2050.

Energy Efficiency
Concrete is a heavy material, so it takes a lot of energy to heat or cool it. That means it changes temperature slowly. This phenomenon is known as "thermal mass." Thermal mass of concrete slows down heat transfer and translates to more consistent temperatures for occupants and decreased energy needed for heating and cooling.

Use of Alternate Fuels in the Cement Industry
The cement industry can easily use bulk rice husk from mills as kiln fuel, though transportation and storage may cause problems. Rice husk has one more advantage for the cement industry. Rice husk, after burning, produces about 20% ash. Rice husk ash has high pozzolanic activity, and so can easily be used to produce good quality blended cement.
