Sustainability is vital for our planet's well-being, society's continued growth, and human progress. Concrete is one of the world's most commonly used materials for building. Nevertheless, the manufacturing of Portland cement, an integral part of concrete, results in the release of large quantities of CO2, a greenhouse gas! GHG'; processing of one ton of Portland cement contains nearly one ton of CO2 and other GHGs. In addition to natural resource concerns, the environmental issues associated with GHGs will play a leading role in the sustainable growth of the cement and concrete sector during this century. For instance, as the availability of good-quality limestone to manufacture cement declines, it would become more difficult to produce sufficient quantities of Portland cement for building. There is a risk that all the workers associated with the concrete industry, as well as new building projects, will be terminated when there is no more good-quality limestone in, say, a regional area, and therefore no Portland cement.
