The emissions are caused by the decomposition of calcium carbonate (limestone) to calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide. This process known as calcination, is carried out in kilns. Therefore, additional GHGs are emitted as a result of heating the kilns. A large cement manufacturer uses a mix of coal, natural gas, and biomass in its boiler. This mix produces the following amounts of GHGs per Million BTUs of energy: • 250 lbs CO2/MMBtu • 5 lbs CH4/MMBtu • 0.36 lbs N2O/MMBtu Process carbon emissions from the calcination process produce 925 lbs of carbon dioxide per metric ton of cement.
