Abstract

Abstract Cement is one of the highest energy-consuming and emission generating industries around the world. To reduce greenhouse emissions, several mitigation measures have been proposed, and their effectiveness is estimated. However, estimates of the global temperature change potential of the cement industry have seldom been performed. Hence, in this study, we propose a new framework that estimates CO2 emissions and other seven pollutants to estimate temperature change potential from the cement industry. The underlying framework uses system dynamics, where the effectiveness of four mitigation measures, i.e., a shift in demand, newer methodologies to produce clinker, use of energy efficiency improvements, and implementation of renewable energy, are explored. The results indicate that renewable sources of energy show highest mitigation potential. The cement industry has contributed to an increase in 2 mK temperature since 1990, which is likely to grow up to 14.8 mK by 2050 if no mitigation measures are applied. Energy efficiency improvements by extensions of perform achieve and trade scheme can reduce 0.33 mK from the Indian cement industry. This paper provides a unique opportunity for estimating temperature influence of the cement industry, which can be further implemented for other countries.

印度水泥工业的温度变化和减缓潜力

水泥是世界上能源消耗和排放最高的行业之一。为减少温室气体排放，提出了若干缓解措施，并对其有效性进行了估计。然而，对水泥工业的全球温度变化潜力的估计很少进行。因此，在本研究中，我们提出了一个估算二氧化碳排放量和其他七种污染物的新框架，以估算水泥工业的温度变化潜力。基本框架使用系统动力学，其中探讨了四项缓解措施的有效性，即需求的转变、生产熟料的新方法、提高能源效率的使用和可再生能源的实施。结果表明，可再生能源显示出最大的缓解潜力。自1990年以来，水泥行业造成了2 mK的温度上升，如果不采取缓解措施，到2050年可能会上升到14.8 mK。通过扩展绩效实现和贸易计划来提高能源效率，可以减少印度水泥行业0.33 mK的排放量。本文为水泥行业的温度影响评估提供了独特的机会，可为其他国家进一步实施。

期刊介绍： Carbon Management is a scholarly peer-reviewed forum for insights from the diverse array of disciplines that enhance our understanding of carbon dioxide and other GHG interactions – from biology, ecology, chemistry and engineering to law, policy, economics and sociology. The core aim of Carbon Management is it to examine the options and mechanisms for mitigating the causes and impacts of climate change, which includes mechanisms for reducing emissions and enhancing the removal of GHGs from the atmosphere, as well as metrics used to measure performance of options and mechanisms resulting from international treaties, domestic policies, local regulations, environmental markets, technologies, industrial efforts and consumer choices. One key aim of the journal is to catalyse intellectual debate in an inclusive and scientific manner on the practical work of policy implementation related to the long-term effort of managing our global GHG emissions and impacts. Decisions made in the near future will have profound impacts on the global climate and biosphere. Carbon Management delivers research findings in an accessible format to inform decisions in the fields of research, education, management and environmental policy.
