In an industry where, Cement production is a substantial source of CO2 emissions, contributing approximately 7-8% of global CO2 emissions. On average, the production of one ton of cement releases about one ton of CO2 into the atmosphere, mainly due to the calcination of limestone and the burning of fossil fuels. This is would go a long way.
