USE OF ALTERNATIVE RAW MATERIALS IN CEMENT INDUSTRY TO REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS

Abstract

Cement production worldwide is around 4.2 Billion tons as it is one of the most extensively used material in construction and building. It is used in making concrete which is the basis of any building foundation. Throughout the years cement production has increased due to the ever-growing demand. That demand has its own percussions as for every ton of cement produced one ton of carbon dioxide is emitted which is an ever-going menace for the world. As the world is going towards greener energy and solutions, the aim is to develop a strategy and method to overcome the challenges posted by the cement industry. Our project focuses on using alternative raw materials which include using a different fuel, changing the cement composition and proposing an altogether new cement alternative to tackle the ever-going threat of increasing Carbon Dioxide Emissions.
