Decarbonizing Cement: CO₂ Capture & Recycling

Created using ChatSlide

Cement production accounts for 7–8% of global CO₂ emissions, mainly from calcination and fuel use. Innovative solutions like carbon capture and recycling into methanol can cut emissions by up to 80%. Techniques such as amine scrubbing and calcium looping integrate with existing systems but face challenges like high retrofit costs and the need for green hydrogen. Policy support and renewable energy adoption are vital for driving sustainable practices in the industry.
