The article discusses the possibility of using and the need to introduce local igneous rocks in order to reduce heat consumption in the production of Portland cement clinker. A list of large surface deposits of igneous rocks with explored and undiluted reserves of raw materials on the territory of Uzbekistan is presented. Their chemical and mineralogical composition and melting temperature range have been determined. The compositions of raw mixtures and the activity of clinkers when using igneous rocks as an aluminosilicate additive and flux as a mineralizer are indicated. The benefits and prospects of using igneous rocks in clinker production are summarized.
