Achieving climate neutrality in the cement and lime industries poses a particular challenge, given that the majority of CO₂ emissions are caused by raw material-related emissions from the decompo-sition of limestone. The capture and storage of CO₂ (carbon capture and storage, CCS) is therefore pivotal in enabling these industries to achieve climate neutrality. The selection of a suitable capture technology is contingent on site and plant-specific conditions. In many cases, multiple production lines or products exist which generate substantial CO₂ emissions.
The ‘Environmental data of the German cement industry 2023’ provides a comprehensive overview of the raw material and energy requirements as well as the current emissions of German cement manufacturers. The emissions of dust and dust constituents as well as inorganic and organic waste gas components are presented. Our environmental data also includes carbon dioxide emissions, the reduction of which is a particular focus in terms of the decarbonisation of cement production.
