Abstract

Cement is one of the key materials used in civil engineering construction and building. The cement industry faces a number of challenges that include depleting fossil fuel reserves, growing environmental concerns on the emission of carbon dioxide emission that have brought negative effects to our ailing world economy. The process in producing the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is highly energy-intensive with carbon dioxide emission during the clinker-making process. Producing Green cement is one of the methods to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from its manufacturing process. The excess of alternative fuels such as natural gas, biomass and wastes are suitable to act as substitute for cement clinker in cement making process. The three famous Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) that are using today in Malaysia are fly ash, blast furnace slag and silica fumes. In this research, two cement plants in Perak were selected to study how they used cement replacement materials to manufacture green cement that brings benefit to all of us. This research also aimed to assist in protecting the ecosystem of the world and at the same time reduce the impact of climate damage to the environment in the long run. This study also aimed to promote the concept of green cement in cement companies and construction users in Malaysia. A quantitative survey conducted by collecting respondents’ answer for data analysis. The collected data is analysed by using quantitative methods.
