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. This is why the environmental impact of concrete manufacturing processes must be modified.

The process of creating cement emits upwards of 80 percent of the cement's weight in carbon dioxide and accounts for about 5 percent of human-generated CO 2 emissions annually. Though the white block's production still requires some of the CO 2 -emitting fuel use of typical cement making, CO 2 is also one of the ingredients used to create it.
