Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) in the context of cement and concrete industries involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from industrial processes and directly utilizing it to create value-added products, notably concrete. This approach not only helps reduce the environmental impact of CO 2 emissions but also enhances the properties of concrete. In the cement industry, significant CO 2 emissions occur during the calcination of limestone and the combustion of fuels. By capturing this CO 2 and using it in concrete, the industry can close the carbon loop and move toward more sustainable production methods.
