Innovative technologies in the cement industry

The paper discusses several research projects on CO 2 capture, storage or usage [CCS/U] technologies in the cement industry. The technology of reducing CO2 emissions by capturing it from flue gases in a cement kiln installation has the greatest reduction poten- tial, but at the same time requires large investments and additional infrastructure for the transfer of captured CO 2 , and is associated with an increased demand for electricity in the cement plant. The article presents the research projects carried out in which various solutions for both CO 2 capture and its further usage were used.
