When night falls, the night view of the cement factory is brilliantly lit. We are not only witnessing the construction and development of the city, but also witnessing the infinite charm of the cement industry #cementfactory #cementfactorynightview #cementindustry #nightscapepicturesque

The Big Problem with Cement,and How to fix it (Video by Vox) This video is about the environmental impact of cement production and potential solutions to reduce emissions. The video opens with the fact that concrete production is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, accounting for 8% of all emissions. This is more than the aviation and shipping industries combined. The focus of the video is on how to reduce the emissions associated with cement production in order to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The video discusses three main ways to reduce emissions from cement production: 1) reducing the amount of concrete used in construction, 2) substituting clinker in cement with lower-emission alternatives, and 3) capturing carbon emissions from cement production facilities. Reducing the amount of concrete used in construction is the easiest way to reduce emissions. The video states that we typically use up to two to three times more concrete than necessary. This can be achieved through better design and engineering practices. Substituting clinker in cement with lower-emission alternatives is another way to reduce emissions. Clinker is a key ingredient in cement, but it is also a major source of emissions. The video discusses some startups that are developing new types of cement that avoid clinker altogether. However, these new cements are not yet commercially viable. Capturing carbon emissions from cement production facilities is the most expensive way to reduce emissions, but it is also the most effective. The video discusses a pilot project in Norway that is capturing carbon emissions from a cement plant and storing them underground. The video concludes by stating that there is no easy solution to the problem of cement emissions, but that we know how to fix the problem and we cannot afford not to try. The video also recommends a follow-up video on the world's tallest mass timber building, which is an example of how we can reduce our reliance on concrete. Link of the Video https://lnkd.in/gjcankTy

What are your insights on the following question: Why is the Ready-mix concrete supply market dominated by cement manufacturing companies? - A: Since cement is their own product they save almost 60% on cement. - B: Since cement is their own product they save more than 60 but less than 70%. - C: Since cement is their own product they save between 50 to 60% on cement cost. - D: Since cement is their own product they save 35 to 50% on the cement cost. - E: Since cement is their own product, they save less than 35% on the cement cost.

Cement makes up just 10-15% percent of concrete by volume, but it is responsible for about 90 percent of its carbon emissions. In 2023 alone, we produced over 4 billion metric tons of cement globally. To put it in perspective, this amount of cement could fill 2,778+ Empire State Buildings. With 2025 just around the corner, the urgency to curb emissions from cement production is at an all-time high. In the third section of our market report, "How Vital Is Scalable and Cost-Effective Raw Material Availability for New Cements?", we examine how cement decarbonization is an environmental necessity and a strategic economic concern - take a look!
