Cement

The cement industry is a crucial part of the global construction sector, providing the essential material used in building infrastructure, homes, roads, bridges, and other structures. It involves the production of cement, a powdery substance made from limestone, clay, shells, and silica, which is then mixed with water and aggregates to form concrete. Cement demand is driven by construction activities in both residential and commercial sectors, as well as large-scale infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and energy facilities. Cement production is energy-intensive and responsible for significant carbon emissions, contributing to climate change. The industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices, such as using alternative fuels, carbon capture technology, and producing low-carbon cements.
