Limestone Industry Statistics

See why limestone sits at the center of industrial emissions and air control, with cement production responsible for 2.3% of global man made CO2 and releases averaging about 0.53 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of cement through limestone calcination. Then compare that chemical reality with what scrubbing can change, since wet limestone FGD can remove 90% plus of SO2 while gypsum byproduct purity often targets above 90% CaSO4·2H2O.

Cement production is responsible for about 2.3% of global man-made CO2 emissions, and the culprit is remarkably direct limestone calcination, where CaCO3 releases CO2 almost stoichiometrically. That same chemistry makes the averages look simple while the compliance picture is anything but, from EU ETS hundreds of monitored installations to scrubbers that can strip SO2 at roughly 90% plus removal. We pulled together the limestone industry dataset that links kiln temperatures, residence times, and mass balances to real-world verified emissions and market pressure.
