Also, ‘he first edition ofthe influential European Union reference document on best applicable technologies for environmental protection in the cement and lime sector was only two years old, ‘Tofind out more about today’s environmental concerns, @ search was made for relevant journal articles, indexed by the British Library, covering period of 18 months from January 2013. This tured up 215 results, of which almost 80 per cent are concerned with four broad topics. ‘Thirty-four per cent are concerned with the use of alternative fuels, a clear winner over the topic of emission abatement, which tooka 21 per cent share including a mere seven per cent for dust control. The nextclasses were aspects of concrete technology and novel clinkers (12 per cent}, and plant design and performance (11 per cent]. Incontrast, a similar (but not identical) survey in 2003 identified a 20 per cent share for dust abatement, tying for top place with waste fuels. Many changes since 2003 result from pledges made under the CSI, Combining data from Holcim, Lafarge, HeidelbergCement and Cemex, the following percentage reductions in emissions per tonne of cement had been achieved by 2013:NO, - 25 per cent, dust -55 per cent and SO, ~60 percent, In addition, reductions in net CO; emissions since 1990 had reached 25 per cent. Other figures for 2013 are: clinker factor ~73 per cent, and alternative fuel proportion ~ 19 per cent [including a seven per cent contribution from biomass). This ew edition of the Handbook has successfully attracted articles from leading experts, principally among cement producers, and their industrial associations and consultants. The aim has been to provide an up-to- date understanding of how the best standards of environmental performance and sustainability aré achieved, and to consider the different challenges encountered in various countries. One nation's alternative fuel may actually be the conventional energy source for another. ‘The response from authors has been pleasing, as shown by the scope and depth of topics covered. However, there are a number of topics and geographical regions that we have been unabletto include and will hopefully appear in the next edition of the Handbook. Sincere thanks are due to all the authors for their ime and commitment to sharing their knowledge and experience.

Sustainability in the cement sector by Marco Goisis, Halcementi,taly The cement sector is making significant inroads to becoming a low-carbon, energy-saving industry.
