Between 1960 and 1990, emissions in China from cement manufacturing increased steadily from 6.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MtCO₂) to 85 MtCO₂. Since then, China's rapid development has seen emissions from this segment rise dramatically and by 2022 had reached 763 MtCO₂. China is by far the largest producer of cement worldwide.
