Abstract

New environmental regulations on toxic and greenhouse gas emissions by cement manufacturers present the U.S. cement industry with significant challenges. This paper describes the current regulatory climate and describes a number of opportunities in which manufacturers can become more efficient in both energy and materials use. Ultimately, the new regulatory climate is seen as an opportunity for the industry to undertake long overdue modernization.
