| description |
Cement is paramount for economic
development and poverty reduction in emerging markets. Along
with aggregates and water, cement is the key ingredient in
the production of concrete, and, as such, is an essential
construction material that enables large infrastructure
projects in energy, water, and transport, as well as,
importantly, the construction of modern buildings and urban
infrastructure. Given the rapid urbanization rates in
developing countries, cement is crucial for delivering on
the climate-smart cities agenda. Emerging markets have been
rapidly increasing their cement use and now account for over
ninety percent of cement consumption worldwide. This report
and an accompanying report on alternative fuels provide a
summary of international best practice experience in the
cement sector and focus on specific technical measures that
could be implemented by cement plants to reduce their
operating costs and improve their carbon footprints. The
reports provide a plethora of practical information from
implemented projects and include detailed technical
descriptions, capital and operating costs, and case studies
and references from locations where the measures have been
implemented. A combination of general and in-depth
information will make these reports a helpful read to both
management and technical and operating personnel of cement
plants as well as to a larger range of stakeholders. |
