Producing cement from electricity reduces carbon emissions

At CleanTechnica, we focus on electric vehicles, from small city microcars to massive performance sports cars. And why not? The transportation sector accounts for more than a third – 37 % according to the IEA – of all carbon emissions. But that means almost two-thirds of carbon emissions come from other sources – like cement, which is responsible for around 8 % of global carbon emissions. In other words, the EV revolution is vital, but even if every vehicle on Earth – cars, trucks, planes and ships – were powered by electricity, our planet would still be too hot to sustain human life.
