The Urgency to Reduce Carbon Emissions in Cement Production

Cement production, despite its longevity and ubiquity, poses a significant challenge due to its high carbon emissions. At 8% of global CO2 emissions, cement production requires a revolution in its manufacturing process to combat climate change. Traditional methods involve high-temperature kilns fueled by coal, emitting substantial CO2. Innovations like Sublime Systems aim to replace heat-based processes with electrochemical reactions, using electricity instead of fossil fuels to create cement without CO2 emissions.
