How the production of cement products is contributing to the problem of global warming.?

The production of cement products significantly contributes to global warming primarily through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) during the calcination process, where limestone is heated to produce clinker. This process accounts for about 8% of global CO2 emissions. Additionally, the energy-intensive nature of cement manufacturing typically relies on fossil fuels, further increasing greenhouse gas emissions. As construction and infrastructure demand rise, the cement industry poses a substantial challenge to climate change mitigation efforts.
