Cement plants are industrial facilities that produce cement, a key ingredient in concrete. The process involves crushing raw materials like limestone and clay, which are then heated in a kiln to create clinker. This clinker is ground into a fine powder and mixed with other materials to produce different types of cement. These plants play a crucial role in the construction industry, supplying the material needed for buildings, roads, and bridges. Cement production is energy-intensive and often involves significant emissions, leading to ongoing efforts to improve sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of cement manufacturing.
