Toward electrochemical synthesis of cement—An electrolyzer-based process for decarbonating CaCO₃ while producing useful gas streams

Cement production is currently the largest single industrial emitter of CO₂, accounting for∼8% (2.8 Gtons/y) of global CO₂ emissions.Deep decarbonization of cement manufacturing will require remediation of both the CO₂ emissions due to the decomposition of CaCO₃ to CaO and that due to combustion of...
