Abstract

The cement industry, as a significant carbon-emitting sector, has a substantial impact on climate change. This study aims to explore the influencing factors of CO2 benchmark emission intensity in the cement industry to reveal how to reduce carbon emissions and enhance carbon emission management efficiency. We collected and analyzed data from numerous cement industry enterprises, including factors such as production processes, raw material selection, energy sources, and government policies. Through descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis, we drew some key conclusions. The results indicate that production processes, raw material selection, and energy sources are the primary influencing factors for CO2 benchmark emission intensity. Enterprises employing wet production processes, selecting raw materials with higher silicon content, and utilizing renewable and efficient energy sources typically exhibit lower CO2 benchmark emission intensities. Government policies and regulations also have a significant impact on CO2 emissions, albeit with variations across countries and regions. These findings provide robust support for carbon emission management in the cement industry, aiding in the development of more sustainable production practices and emission reduction strategies.
