Details

The project aims to enhance the dataset of global cement plant emissions by gathering updated and detailed information on 300 cement plants worldwide. Cement production is a significant source of CO2 emissions, and understanding the emissions profile of these plants is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate their environmental impact. By scraping data from cement companies' and associations' websites, the project seeks to obtain key information such as the start year of operation, the exact process type, original and current production capacities, and the number of kilns per plant. This data will provide a comprehensive overview of the emissions potential of each plant, aiding in the analysis of future emissions trends and the development of targeted reduction strategies.

Deliverables

The deliverables for this project include a comprehensive dataset containing updated information on the 300 cement plants, including their start year, process type, original and current capacities, and kiln numbers. Additionally, a report summarizing the findings and potential implications for emissions reduction strategies will be provided. The dataset and report will serve as valuable resources for understanding and addressing the CO2 emissions profile of the global cement industry.
