Carbon Capture in Cement Production

Carbon capture in cement production focuses on capturing CO₂ released during the calcination of limestone and fuel combustion in kilns. Technologies like post-combustion capture using chemical solvents, oxy-fuel combustion, or calcium looping are employed to separate CO₂ from the flue gas. The captured CO₂ is then compressed, transported, and stored in geological formations. This process reduces emissions from cement manufacturing, a significant source of industrial CO₂
