Cement is produced through a two-step process of first creating clinker from raw materials like limestone and clay in a rotary kiln at high temperatures, and then grinding the clinker along with other additives like gypsum to produce cement powder. The production process can cause pollution like cement kiln dust, but waste streams are often recycled back into the process or used as alternative fuels to reduce pollution and energy needs. Methane captured from anaerobic digestion of bio solids is also sometimes used to power dryers in the cement production process.
