Sustainable Cement Production refers to the processes and practices in the manufacturing of cement that minimize environmental impact and promote resource efficiency. This approach typically involves the use of alternative raw materials, such as recycled materials or industrial byproducts, to reduce the need for traditional limestone and clay. It also emphasizes lower carbon emissions through improved energy efficiency, the incorporation of renewable energy sources, and the adoption of carbon capture and storage technologies. Sustainable cement production aims to reduce the overall carbon footprint of cement manufacturing while maintaining product quality and performance standards. This practice is essential in addressing climate change and advancing sustainable construction methods in the building industry.
Heidelberg Materials' Ribblesdale cement works is leading a pioneering project to investigate the feasibility of using ammonia as a source of hydrogen for fueling cement kilns. The 12-month research initiative,…
