The breakdown of GHGs in cement production is roughly distributed between the extraction of raw materials at about 3%, about 85% from the production of clinker and the heating of the calciner, and about 12% from the downstream process . Of the 85% of GHG emissions from the direct production of cement, about 34% of COemissions are from the use of fossil fuels to heat the kilns and the remaining 51% come from the calcination of the raw feedstock materials.
We sit at the “in-between” where we can bridge the gap between basic science and novel technologies that often fall in the “valley of death” and de-risk technologies making them more appealing for commercialization. We approach our research with objectivity and are not required to be competitive with our work, so we look at all potential solutions and bring all private and public organizations’ priorities to the table. Essentially, we wear a research and business hat simultaneously.
What do you wish people understood about cement and concrete and efforts to decarbonize this industry?
