Re CO2 produced per kg of clinker When calculating CO2 emissions from raw material chemistry certain assumptions have to be made eg you can calculate the CO2 given off by the limestone component if you assume all of the CaO comes from limestone some CO2 is also often associated with MgCO3 but let s concentrate on the CaCO3 for now
