Heating Limestone: A Major CO₂ Culprit in Construction
Here's how it works: Cement is made by grinding up limestone and then heating it, along with clay or shale, in a kiln. The temperature of the kiln ranges from 2,700 – 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. During this process, CO2 is released in two ways: 1) from the fossil fuels used to heat the kiln and 2) from gases released from the limestone itself.
