Cement Energy Environment

44 Economic Indicators and Cement Production Key message: The projection for emission and potential reduction were evaluated with the low demand cariant as a parameter, considered more realistic. the eventuality of more optimistic production variants can have a significant impact on the efforts of the sector to reduce CO 2 . Key message: As incomes rise, increasing demand for cement drives up production levels, which then stabilize by 2050 as population growth levels off and high levels of demand intensity are reached.
