Arvind Pathak, Group Managing Director of Dangote Cement says the cement industry is responsible for seven per cent of global carbon emissions.
He says the cement industry, which provides a vital material to meet Africa’s infrastructure deficit, generates seven per cent of the world’s CO2 emissions as the cement value chain involves the intensive use of energy for raw materials’ mining, crushing, mixing, drying, firing, clinker grinding, packaging and dispatch to customers.
He noted that placed a critical demand on fuel sourcing and controlled energy usage, as almost every stage of the cement value chain produced CO2 emissions, with the bulk of emissions emanating from the firing process during clinker production in the kiln.
