The cement industry is a cornerstone of modern construction but also a significant contributor to global carbon dioxide emissions, accounting for around 7% of total emissions. To address this challenge, researchers and industry leaders are exploring sustainable solutions that minimize environmental impact while maintaining cement’s essential role in infrastructure development.

Why Sustainability in Building

Environmental Impact: Traditional cement production relies heavily on energy-intensive processes and raw materials like limestone, which release substantial amounts of CO₂ during calcination.

Utilizing alternative fuels such as waste biomass and incorporating recycled materials like demolition waste into cement production can lower emissions and reduce reliance on virgin resources. This approach not only mitigates environmental impact but also promotes resource efficiency.
