Explanation:

Correct. On burning, pet coke (petroleum coke) releases more sulfur than coal. Pet coke, a byproduct of oil refining, has a higher sulfur content compared to coal, making it more polluting in terms of sulfur emissions.

Correct. Pet coke is used in cement industries as a feedstock. It is utilized as a source of energy and as a carbon source in the cement manufacturing process.

Incorrect. As of my last update, India had not placed a complete ban on the import of pet coke for all kinds of uses. The Indian government had restricted the use of pet coke in the National Capital Region (NCR) due to environmental and health concerns, but it was still being used in other industries and regions with certain restrictions.

Therefore, two of the statements are correct.
