The cement industry is responsible for eight per cent of global CO2 emissions – a staggering figure that demands urgent action, particularly as 2024 marked the first year the planet surpassed the 1.5 deg C global warming limit.
Cement production ranks as the second-largest industrial source of global greenhouse gas emissions, but researchers at the University of Michigan in the US have demonstrated how a low-cost, scalable method could significantly cut its carbon footprint.
