Abstract: The attention to environmental impacts of cement production has grown fast in recent decades. The cement industry is a significant greenhouse gases emitter mainly due to the calcinations of raw materials and the combustions of fuels.

The environmental impact of concrete. Concrete is now the most widely used manufactured material on the planet. It has shaped so much of our built environment, but this comes at a massive environmental cost. Cement is the key ingredient that makes concrete such a useful building material, and we use over 4 billion tonnes of it globally …

The inventories developed for this study are suitable for characterizing concrete in industry-average modeling efforts and provide a tool for quantifying the impacts associated with specific cement and concrete production facilities or technologies.

The cement industry needs an environment that incentivises companies to adapt mature sustainability strategies and facilitate transition of cement companies towards becoming architects of ...

The cement manufacturing process has a substantial environmental impact, primarily. due to its high energy consumption, significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the release. of various ...

Environmenta impact of the cement industry. The manufacturing process for green cement succeeds in reducing and even eliminating, the production and release of damaging pollutants and greenhouse gasses, particularly CO2 writes Vinay Pathak. Cement manufacture causes environmental impacts at all stages of the process.

The PCR for cement only looks at the manufacturing aspect and as such is considered a "cradle-to-gate" PCR. While there are other impacts beyond the plant where cement is produced, establishing the boundary as the cement plant allows for quantifying the environmental impacts associated with producing a specific quantity of cement (one …

Cement production contributes significantly to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), a major contributor to global carbon emissions. The environmental impacts of cement production have grown in recent years and it is urgent to reduce its carbon footprint. Systems dynamics (SD) is a simulation method used to understand the …

The cement industry is one of the major energy-consuming industries and one of the major CO 2 emissions. It is very important to conduct carbon emission assessment and recommend appropriate low-carbon technologies in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the cement industry.

It is critical for the concrete industry to develop strategies for the mitigation of environmental and societal impacts.

Lower energy consumption, reduced environmental impact, and ability to replace or reduce the usage of ordinary Portland cement contribute to mitigating carbon footprints, conserving resources, and promoting a more sustainable construction industry, ultimately fostering a greener and more resilient built environment.

This paper reviews the impact of cement industry towards the global environment and solutions to the. problem. The increasing harvesting of raw materials for mounting cement manufacturing causes ...

The objective of this Technical Note is to describe the necessary Bank requirements for the content and disclosure of Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs), with a focus on the particular issues related to cement plants. This Technical Note is a basic document and is designed to assist borrowers (project sponsors) in understanding what …

The cement industry pumps 2.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. Cleaning that up will require addressing the two distinct sources of cement's greenhouse-gas ...

The cement industry accounts for 5% of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, responsible for global warming, but it also has other negative effects on the environment which are sometimes overlooked.

Cement is the largest emitter of CO2 in the world. We look at the causes, and potential solutions, for a world with less, or greener, concrete solutions.

Cement is the source of about 8% of the world's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to think tank Chatham House. If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest emitter ...

The cement industry confronts significant challenges in raw materials, energy demands, and CO2 emissions reduction, which are global and local environmental concerns. Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been used in many studies to assess the environmental impact of cement production and investigate ways to improve …

America's cement producers have a strong culture of innovation that has led to gains in energy efficiency and new sustainable manufacturing practices that continually reduce environmental impacts. Over the last 40 years, U.S. cement manufacturers have reduced the energy used to produce a metric ton of cement by roughly 40 percent.

knowledge of the environmental impacts caused by tech-nologies, procedures, or materials that are used in the cement industry. Therefore, a comparison was performed among three different systems: An Egyptian cement plant using electricity, natural gas, diesel, and mazzut for energy consumption; an EHP using electricity and coal; and an …

Here, we explore the environmental challenges of cement and concrete industry transformation and highlight existing options that could be undertaken over the coming decades to mitigate environmental impacts of cement and concrete production.

As an energy-intensive and raw-materials-oriented industry, the cement industry is facing challenges including overcoming the climate crisis and achieving carbon neutrality. Co-processing was suggested as a solution, but the environmental effects of this have not been specifically studied in Korea.

Since cement production consumes a significant amount of raw materials and resources, it is necessary to evaluate its environmental impact and determine how the industry can proceed in terms of sustainable practices.

Recently, China roughly yields 60% of global production of cement. In this review, the driving force, environment impact and sustainable development of China's cement industry are discussed basing database from society, economy and industry.

An assessment of environmental impacts has been made in terms of water, air and noise pollution in a cement manufacturing plant Manglam Cement Limited at Morak, Kota, Rajasthan, which is under operation for a period of about 30 years.

The cement manufacturing industry has played a fundamental role in global economic development, but its production is a major facilitator to anthropogenic CO2 release and solid waste generation.

The cement industry in India has witnessed a remarkable growth making India presently the second largest producer of cement in the world. However, the production of cement involves emission of pollutants that are considered to be a severe threat to the environment. The objective of this paper is to identify the environment …

The addition of harmful substances to the environment and rapid industrial expansion are all aimed at altering the environment. The cement industry contributes significantly to environmental inequality and poses a risk of air pollution. Despite the fact that several studies had a high or danger-ous threat of preconception and overall confidence …

Concrete is a mix of several different materials: water, fine aggregates (or sand), coarse aggregates (or gravel), chemical additives, and, most importantly, cement. Cement is what binds all of these …

Cement manufacture causes environmental impacts at all stages of the process. These include emissions of airborne pollution in the form of dust and gases; noise and vibration when operating ...
