The world's cement production, in fact, contributes to the earth's atmosphere about 5–7% of the total CO 2 emissions, CO 2 being mainly responsible for global warming and climate change. As a consequence, concrete industry in the future has to feed the growing population needs – expected to rise up to ten billion in 2050 - being...
