Environmental and Economic Challenges of the Cement Industry and the Path to Sustainable Development

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article examines the key problems of the modern cement industry related to high energy intensity and significant carbon footprint. The necessity of transitioning to resource-saving technologies is substantiated. It has been shown that partial replacement of cement clinker with finely dispersed mineral fillers is a strategically important solution for reducing the environmental burden and product cost. The cement industry - one of the pillars of the modern construction industry - is also one of the largest sources of anthropogenic impact on the environment. Portland cement production is associated with enormous energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, which poses serious environmental and economic challenges for the industry. The solution to this situation is the implementation of a sustainable development concept, the key element of which is the modification of cement systems using finely dispersed mineral fillers.
