As　one　of　the　pillar　industries　for　social　development　and　economic　construction,　cement　manufacture　is　energy　and　carbon-intensive,　whose　greenhouse　gas　(GHG)　emissions　account　for　more　than　6%　of　total　global　man-made　GHG　emission　annually.　With　the　growing　attention　on　the　problem　of　global　warming,　researching　and　promoting　low-carbon　manufacturing　technologies　to　reduce　GHG　emissions　have　become　the　main　trend　in　the　development　of　cement　industry　under　the　new　era.　The　low-carbon　technologies　were　sorted　out　for　cement　production　reported　in　recent　years,the　mainstream　methods　of　GHG　accounting　and　assessment　such　as　life　cycle　assessment　(LCA)　and　carbon　footprint　analysis　(CFA)　were　introduced,　meanwhilethe　articles　in　the　field　of　low-carbon　technology　and　assessment　methods　in　cement　production　were　reviewed.　Moreover,　the　merits　and　demerits　of　various　assessment　methods　and　applicable　fields　were　discussed　in　order　to　provide　suggestions　and　supports　for　low-carbon　transformation　of　cement　industry.　©　2021　Trans　Tech　Publications　Ltd,　Switzerland.
