Abstract

The current state of science and progress does not yet allow for a radical reduction in environmental damage from cement production, as the technological process involves the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide during clinker baking, and the generation of significant amounts of dust due to the need to grind raw materials and clinker itself. By its very nature, cement production is one of the most resource- and energy-intensive industries. The article highlights the current level of environmental impact caused by cement production and outlines the prospects for limiting the negative impact in the future. Priority tasks for the industry should include rationalization of resource use, optimization of technological processes related to clinker firing, and the search for modern energy sources that can be integrated into the production system. In addition to measures related to changes in the production process, cement itself needs to be transformed. The key goal of cement improvement is to achieve a reduction in the average clinker share and product composition.Taking into account the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions, the ways of greening the cement production process are proposed, taking into account the best international practices. The proposed ways to increase the efficiency of environmental modernization of cement production by business entities include the following: reducing energy consumption, replacing traditional fuels with alternative ones, reducing the level of clinker factor in cement, and using carbon capture technology. The experience of implementing the described technologies at industrial enterprises of Ukraine is presented. The article emphasizes that the most important thing in conducting an EIA is the complexity and rationality of the chosen approaches, since the transformation of cement production takes place in different planes: technological, legal, and managerial. That is, the optimization of production technology should be accompanied by the establishment of an effective production control system, development of an effective management approach for the implementation and introduction of an innovation management system.
