Can we use Green Cement for Construction?

Carbon dioxide is the most important and abundant gas among all GHGs which have the highest contribution in global warming phenomenon. Thus, finding promising approaches to mitigate CO2 emissions is the priority of studies to subside the threat of climate change.

Cement industry is one of the major industry where more CO2 is released. This lead to find different ways to reduce percentage of CO2 released from this industry. In the following process they found different ways to produce green cement with less release of CO2. Few ways are as follows.

1) by replacing relatively large quantities of the cement with fly ash, and by using types of cement that require less energy to produce.

2) new types of concrete that reuse some of the concrete industry’s own residual products, such as stone dust from the production of crushed aggregate, and concrete slurry from washing concrete mixing plants and trucks

3) reuse residual products from other industries, such as ash from the combustion of sewage sludge and biofuels.
