20 one which can face the demand and maintain a return on capital employed (ROCE) above the expected weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This economic advantage is more robust than in the other scenario due to a lower sensitivity to operations cost. Hence, we can say LC 3 is not only a technically feasible alternative but also an economically feasible one. Limestone and calcinedd clays are some of the few raw materials available in the quantities required to constitute a technology suitable to cope with the projected cement demand worldwide. LC 3 is one of the promising option to achieve lower CO 2 emissions, increase in supply capacity, higher return on investment, and potentially lower price on the construction market.
