CO₂ Emissions due to Cement Manufacture

Abstract:

With increasing concerns about global warming, and the cement plants emitting huge CO₂, it is necessary to know how the CO₂ emits and how much the CO₂emits due to cement manufacture in both direct and indirect ways. A precise method to calculate CO₂emissions including three processes was established in this paper and a case study was provided. From the case of LQDX plant, we can see the amount of CO₂emissions at the right level. The summary of CO₂emissions is consisted by emissions from raw materials, fuels and electricity. The direct CO₂emissions are 0.822 ton CO₂per ton clinker, and the total CO₂emissions are 0.657 ton CO₂per ton cement in this study. Therefore, the way that CO₂emissions due to cement manufacture was pictured and then measured. An approach provides a basic framework to identify various situations in different cement plants in China and other in the rest of the world. The framework would be useful in quantitatively evaluating CO₂ emissions for government to know precisely CO₂ emissions in cement plants.
