This paper assessed the replacement of shale in the production of cement with anthill soil. It also looked into the severity of carbon (IV) oxide (CO2) emission of the anthill soil during the production of the cement. This was compared with that emitted when shale alone is used. Various tests were carried out on the anthill soil, shale and limestone. The test results were analysed and it was discovered that the emission of carbon (II) oxide gas using anthill soil is benign when compared to that of shale.
