Cement is a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, forming the backbone of construction projects worldwide. However, the production of cement is one of the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions. This substantial environmental impact stems from the energy-intensive process of producing clinker, the key ingredient in cement. As the world grapples with the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change, innovative methods for cement recycling have emerged as a promising solution. This essay explores the potential of cement recycling to address one of the world's biggest climate challenges by examining its processes, benefits, challenges, and future prospects.
