Abstract:
The purpose of this case study is to investigate the Egyptian cement
industry’s role in growth and development. Cement plays a crucial role in
meeting societies’ demand for real estate and construction materials. In many
emerging countries and especially those characterised by an increasing rate of
population, consumption of cement will continue. This present case study aims
to estimate the pollution load for the cement industry in Egypt using an
industrial pollution projection system (IPPS). This estimation will provide an
assessment of the effects of industrial pollution in Egypt, and to analyse the
market’s driving forces and to guide the government with information to
priorities its objectives with regard to the competing demands of pollution,
growth and development.
