Need for Green Cement

• Look around you. Every building, road and infrastructure project you see is built using concrete. Billions of tonnes every year. Cement and the concrete it makes, are both a necessity, and a challenge. A challenge because the process to manufacture cement results in GHG emissions. And as the world wakes up to the pressing challenge of global warming, abating and avoiding these emissions is critical. At the same time, Cement is a key ingredient for developing our cities and societies: construction material is responsible for putting roofs over the heads of billions. As the backbone of the housing and infrastructure market, it also fuels widespread economic growth.
• As the world’s third largest emitter of carbon dioxide, India’s ‘net-zero’ commitment will be consequential for the planet’s fight against climate change, more so in this decade as we strive to halve global emissions by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Amongst India’s five climate targets, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for reducing 1 billion tonnes of carbon emissions by 2030, with India targeting to reach net-zero emissions by 2070.
• Industrial manufacturing—producing nearly 20 percent of India’s GHG emissions—is one of the hardest to abate. Almost half of these emissions come from just two industries — iron & steel and cement—making it critical to decarbonize these sectors if India is to achieve its net-zero goal. The cement industry as a whole is responsible for nearly 7% of the total CO2 emissions globally.
• Evolving regulations and the increasing frequency of natural disasters are changing how construction industries design, build and operate critical infrastructure, from public infrastructure to industries, to real estate.
• The cement industry’s role in providing sustainable infrastructure requires a holistic approach. This includes decarbonization of not only construction processes but materials as well- creating ways to manufacture and promote greener cement alternatives.

Future Hopes for Greener Concrete

• There are even more ideas on the horizon that haven’t come to fruition yet. Something like capturing CO2 during production is a promising idea similar to carbon capture during coal-fired electricity generation.
• Hopefully, another alternative will be carbon-negative cement, which would replace quicklime with magnesium oxide. Neither of these has quite gotten the momentum they need.
• But researchers know the potential of these ideas. The next steps are to get clients and contractors to use the newer, greener options. Keep an eye out for these alternatives! You can find sustainable options for just about everything.

North America dominated the green cement market with a share of more than 45%, followed by APAC and Europe.

Increasing demand for sustainable construction materials

Limited availability of raw materials, depletion of natural fuel resources, and rising cement demand and environmental concerns are acting as challenges for the cement industry. This is boosting demand for alternative fuels from renewable energy resources and supporting recycling of waste materials. It is estimated that for the production of every ton of OPC, an equal amount of carbon dioxide gets released into the atmosphere. The energy requirement during the production of OPC can be reduced with cement manufactured from locally available minerals and industrial wastes. These can be blended with OPC either as a substitute or can be fully replaced with novel clinkers. Green cement minimizes carbon footprint of cement production by 40%. The emission of carbon dioxide with the help of green cement can be limited to 30% or even less in comparison to the conventional methods. Moreover, the need for freshwater in RMC can be minimized by around 50% with the help of green cement. Increasing initiatives regarding the construction of green buildings and demand for sustainable cements for green building construction are expected to increase the utilization of green cement. Green cement is resistant to temperature changes and can therefore reduce the costs involved in cooling and heating.

High investment required for the production of green cement

High investment required for the production of green cement is expected to adversely affect the market growth. The risk associated with investment in an innovative product or production technology is preventing manufacturers as well as consumers from investing in green cement. Set-up and production costs for green cement is relatively higher than that for production of OPC. Moreover, lack of awareness regarding the product in the construction sector a number of countries and among many consumers is also adversely affecting demand. Since the product is at an early stage of development, many companies are increasingly investing in research and development activities to produce more advanced and effective product, which could further minimize carbon footprint of cement production.
