Scaling Innovation to Reduce Emissions in the Cement?Industry - Concrete, a cornerstone of modern construction, is facing a sustainability reckoning. As global construction surges—up 10.5% in North America compared to pre-pandemic levels—the environmental toll of cement production has become an urgent challenge. Cement, a critical component of concrete, accounts for an estimated 7-8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Global Cement and Concrete Association. With cement demand expected to grow from 14 billion cubic meters annually to 20 billion cubic meters by 2050, innovative solutions are essential to decarbonize this ubiquitous material. The Challenge of Cement Emissions The cement-making process is inherently carbon-intensive. Traditional methods involve heating limestone to produce lime, which releases significant CO2 during calcination. This process contributes to direct emissions and consumes vast amounts of energy, typically from fossil fuels. While governments and corporations worldwide are pushing for net-zero targets, decarbonizing cement production remains one of the most difficult hurdles.

Decarbonizing lime has a ripple effect throughout the construction industry, enhancing the sustainability of essential building materials like structural steel, concrete, CMU, bricks and mortar. It is only through the industry moving together that large reductions in GHG emissions can be achieved. #Steel #Concrete #Future #Technology #Innovation #Green #Sustainability #SustainableSteel #GreenSteel
Lime is not just a key ingredient in cement—it’s a versatile material with a wide range of applications essential to modern life. Lime is produced by heating limestone to form quicklime, which can then be slaked with water to create hydrated lime. These processes continue to play a vital role in today’s industrial landscape. #Lime is used extensively across various sectors, including environmental management, metallurgy, construction, and chemical manufacturing. The fastest-growing application for lime is in environmental compliance, where it helps to meet air, drinking water, wastewater, and solid waste regulations. In steel manufacturing, lime is crucial for removing impurities, making it the largest single use of lime worldwide. In the construction industry, lime is vital for soil stabilisation in road building, earthen dams, airfields, and building foundations. It is also a key ingredient in mortar and plaster and can be combined with additives to produce other metals. As an additive in asphalt, lime improves cohesion, reduces stripping, and slows the ageing process, enhancing durability. Given its significant role in these applications, decarbonising lime production is critical for reducing #CO2 emissions in #hard-to-abate sectors like steel and aluminium manufacturing, as well as construction. At Leilac, we are pioneering innovative decarbonisation technology purpose built for the cement and lime industry to reduce CO2 emissions and move towards #NetZero . Understanding the importance of decarbonising lime can help us all contribute to a cleaner, greener future. Join us in exploring how we can transform industrial processes to be more sustainable!
