The Future Cement Initiative connects industry leaders, academia, and government stakeholders to drive sustainable innovations in cement manufacturing. Our mission is to develop cost-effective, scalable solutions that reduce environmental impact while enhancing economic performance.
Environmental Impact
Cement production is responsible for approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions, primarily due to the calcination process the high energy requirements of kilns.
Cement manufacturing is energy-intensive, relying heavily on fossil fuels for high-temperature kilns. Additionally, cement requires substantial amounts of raw materials, leading to resource depletion.
Governments are implementing stricter environmental regulations, compelling the industry to adopt cleaner technologies and reduce emissions.
Cement made it possible for humans to settle in one place and to urbanize their settlements.
