Top 10 Cement Companies in Europe to Use Carbon Nanotubes from CO₂ Emissions in 2030
Did you know that concrete is responsible for 8% of the world’s CO₂ emissions and is the second most-used substance in the world after water? Reducing CO₂ emissions from cement manufacturing is particularly challenging because they result from the release of CO₂ during the conversion of CaCO₃ (calcium carbonate). ⅔ of the direct emissions come from the calcination of limestone into cement clinker during the burning process in the cement kiln. As we cannot change chemistry, these emissions are unavoidable. This makes the cement industry a hard-to-abate sector. The industry is subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), receiving a…
