Abstract: The objective of this study is to reveal the importance of CO₂ emission reduction in the cement industry for the countries with strong demand. As a case study we worked on the opportunities of reducing CO₂ emissions in the cement industry in Turkey. By improving the technology, the average specific energy and specific electric consumption showed a decrease of nearly 4% and 5%, respectively over the last ten years. Process based CO₂ emissions followed a slight decrease due to changes in the utilised fuel and raw material blend from 0.50 ton CO₂/ton cement in 2001 to 0.45 ton CO₂/ton cement in 2015. Reduction in CO₂ emissions can be achieved mainly by effective waste heat recovery (WHR) systems and the increasing use of alternative fuel. When the percentage of alternative fuel usage reaches to 30.5% from the value of 2.38% 1.4 million tonnes of CO₂eq reduction will be achieved.
