The Oil Drum has posted stunning graphs on global cement production from the US Geological Survey's (USGS) latest cement data. Two of them are after the jump.
Take note of China.
In 2007, it produced 50 percent of all the cement used in the world, up from 42.5 percent in 2006.
Of the 1.3 billion tons that China manufactured last year, it used over 97 percent for the nation's own building boom, and exported the rest, around 33 million tons. The Olympics account for some of that growth. But not all.
