(57) [Problem] To reduce the concentration of both SOx and NOx in combustion gas discharged from a cement kiln. [Solution] A method for operating a cement kiln 7, comprising adjusting the oxygen partial pressure in a kiln end 5 of the cement kiln 7 to 4 to 7 % to suppress generation of SOx from cement starting material R3 and clinker inside the cement kiln 7, and blowing fuel F2 and combustion air A into the kiln end 5 through a denitration burner 6 to decompose NOx included in exhaust gas G1 of the cement kiln 7 that passes inside the kiln end 5. The fuel F2 and the combustion air A can be blown through a plurality of burners provided in the kiln end 5 of the cement kiln 7. The fuel F2 may include one or more selected from pulverized coal, heavy oil, natural gas, coal ash, and gasified combustible waste or combustible substance.
