The cement industry, particularly in the United States and Europe, has reduced CO2 emissions through the use of more efficient kilns and processes, and is now allowed to add some ground unburned limestone to the clinker, reducing the actual cement in the mix.
After looking at hundreds of ways to control these pollutants, the researchers determined the 14 most effective measures for reducing climate change, like encouraging a switch to cleaner diesel engines and cookstoves, building more efficient kilns and coke ovens, capturing methane at landfills and oil wells, and reducing methane emissions from rice paddies by draining them more often.
"So by promoting more efficient kilns and manufacturing, we can also address related development problems, such as poverty, child labor, and women's issues".
Such institutions will supply microloans at lowered interest rates, Delgado says, but only if they're convinced that more efficient kilns will boost producer incomes and lessen their own financial risk.

China, meanwhile, relies on two even more efficient kiln designs.
In its second phase, EELA aims to promote the fan in combination with a more efficient "downdraft" kiln that edges CO2 reduction and fuel savings closer to 50%.
Soot can be reduced by installing filters on diesel engines, replacing traditional cookstoves with more efficient models, modernizing brick kilns and banning the open burning of agricultural waste.
First, cement-makers are trying to make their kilns more efficient and so reduce the amount of energy needed per unit of output.
In China and India, a program to improve power generation, filter soot from diesel engines, reduce emissions from brick-making kilns and provide more efficient cookstoves could cut the levels of soot in those regions by about two-thirds — and benefit countries downwind as well.
They also encouraged potters to install fans costing just $40 in their kilns so that combustion became more efficient.
