Monthly, global cement production data

This dataset is a collation of available monthly cement and cement clinker production data from both national sources and the (now discontinued) UN Monthly Bulletin of Statistics. In total, 480 time series are present, of which 358 are from the UN bulletin. Chinese provincial clinker production is available for the period 2013-2020. The earliest data are for Taiwan, which start in 1982. Currently 77 of the monthly time-series are connected to live sources and will be updated in future. In this release the most recent data are for November 2023 (Saudi Arabia). All sources are detailed in the accompanying JSON metadata file.
The time-series are necessarily incomplete. I have included the data that are available from each source. In some cases the sources also provide data on lime production, and this has been included since its production generates emissions in the same way as does the production of cement clinker.
If you intend to use this dataset in your own research, I would appreciate being contacted to discuss whether co-authorship is appropriate.
If you are aware of countries that publish monthly cement statistics that are not included in this dataset, please let me know. Note that some countries publish monthly industrial production statistics for cement that are indices, but these are most often not directly convertible to physical production.
Always make sure to check the Zenodo page for possible updates to the dataset.
