Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Cement Industry

Air pollution is one of the most important problems of our time. Measures that can be taken to air pollution vary according to pollution source. Sources of pollution are industries, thermal powerplants, vehicles and domestic heating. The cement industry is generally considered responsible for upwards of 5% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. This is a result of the high energy intensity of the process, significant CO2 release from the raw materials used. In this study, GHGs emissions released from the cement industry were calculated based on the IPCC 2006 Guidelines
