If LC3 allows clinker content to fall from 95 per cent to 50 per cent, by what proportion is the clinker per tonne reduced?

  • A.by about 5 per cent
  • B.by about 47 per cent
  • C.by 45 per cent exactly
  • D.by about 90 per cent

Answer: B

Correct answer: by about 47 per cent

\[ \frac{95 - 50}{95} = 0.474. \] The reduction is taken as a proportion of what was there before, not as the difference in percentage points - 45 points is not 45 per cent. Since nearly all the emission is in the clinker, the saving in carbon dioxide is close to the same figure.
