Alternative de-carbonated raw materials for clinker production, Improving burnability of the raw mix by use of mineralizer, Carbon capture through algal growth and use of biofuels, Geopolymer cement, More production of Blended cement, Carbon Capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), Renewable source of energy and Multicomponent blended cement. The government has launched various schemes to promote the production of renewable sources of energy (solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, hydroelectric energy, and biomass energy) on a large scale as well as on a small scale in rural areas. The government of India has promoted numerous steps to resolve global warming and climate change.
