According to Chatham House, cement is the source of about 8% of the world's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To put that into perspective, if the cement industry was a country, it would be the third largest emitter in the world. It contributes more CO2 than aviation fuel and isn't far behind the global agriculture business.

Lastly, gypsum is added to the clinker, and this results in cement, the main ingredient of concrete. Burning fossil fuels to heat limestone and breaking down calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and CO2 takes a huge toll on the environment.

The environmental impact of concrete, its manufacture and applications, are complex, driven in part by direct impacts of construction and infrastructure, as well as by CO2 emissions; between 4-8% of total global CO2 emissions come from concrete. Many depend on circumstances. A major component is cement, which has its own environmental and social impacts and contributes largely to those of concrete. The cement industry is one of the main producers of carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. Concr
