Further, the exponentially demand of individual habitation has led to increased demand for new construction. Cement industry is considered to be one of the most carbon intensive sectors, accounting for about 25% of CO_2 emissions of global industrial sectors (excluding power sector). The cement production has a high volume of energy consumption and carbon emissions, both ranking among the top three in all types of industrial sectors. Nominally, up to 8.0% of the total energy consumption in any cement producing country is consumed by cement production, which in turn produce about 12-15% of total CO_2 emissions of the whole country. Meanwhile, large amounts of pollutants are also generated along with cement production, of which dust emissions are the highest in industrial sectors and nitrogen oxide emissions ranking the third after power generation and vehicle exhaust. Therefore, it is significant to explore the green transition pathway of the cement industry in response to mitigating environmental problems. 收起
