  Cement is a powerful adhesive or binding substance that is used as the major ingredient in concrete. Concrete is an important component in foundations, constructions, roads, bridges, highways, embankments, and other construction projects. Cement output continues to expand every year, owing to its critical role in construction and urban development. Cement manufacturing is a substantial source of industrial air pollution, despite its importance. Clinker manufacturing, a fundamental element in cement, is a major producer of noxious gases, particularly carbon dioxide. Green Cement Provides the Answer As part of an effort to reduce the hazards posed by emissions, the cement manufacturing process can be modified to drastically reduce emission levels. Green cement is a type of cement made using a "carbon-negative production technique." Green cement, in other words, is cement manufactured as the end result of a technologically sophisticated process that minimizes emissions during ...
