ABSTRACT

Cement manufacturing is a complex and massive industrial process undertaken by large organizations. Portland cement in turn comprises the key ingredient of concrete, which is the most widely manufactured material on earth. In order to maximize sustainability, measures must be taken in all stages-from the manufacture and shipment of cement to the blending and application of concrete to reduce energy use, capture and utilize emissions from cement manufacturing and other processes, and build energy-ef’cient and long-lasting structures.
