The NBS has released its Sustainable Futures Report for 2024, developed in collaboration with The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The report highlights the UK construction sector's growing focus on decarbonisation and building sustainably, revealing a significant increase in the number of projects with environmental objectives and an improved success rate in achieving these goals compared to previous years. Key findings from the report are: - 70% of construction projects now incorporate sustainability targets - A 13% increase in net-zero projects compared to the previous report - A 16% growth in the number of organisations measuring their carbon footprint, with 70% now doing so It’s clear the construction industry is taking the need to reduce emissions seriously. This needs to accelerate if the UK is to achieve #NetZero by 2050. At Ecocem, we have developed and produced numerous #LowCarbonCement technologies for over 20 years and our products have been used in the construction of some of the UK’s most iconic buildings and projects such as HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd, the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Stadium and the Port of Dover Harbour. ACT, our latest innovation, is a scalable low carbon cement technology that can deliver a 70% reduction in emissions while delivering the durability, workability and strength required by any concrete it is used to make. To date we have prevented over 18 million tonnes of CO2 from entering Earth’s atmosphere. Ecocem can lead the way. Follow us.

Low-carbon, low-clinker cements have the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2030. Our Research and Innovation team has made great strides in accelerating the development and scalability of low-carbon alternatives through the use of SCMs (supplementary cementitious materials). In this article by World Cement, our Director of Research and Innovation, Roberta Alfani, discusses strategies for the widespread adoption of carbon-reducing cements.

We are pleased to announce that Ecocem’s ACT technology has been shortlisted for the Reuters Events: Sustainability Awards 2024! 👏   This recognition highlights the hard work and dedication of our team over the past decade in developing breakthrough innovations. Our high-performance, #LowCarbon cement technology, a result of our relentless commitment to research, innovation, and development, has been nominated in the Product Innovation Award category.   With ACT, Ecocem is on track to help the cement industry reduce emissions by 70%, supporting the journey to #NetZero by 2050. Our mission is to drive #decarbonisation in the built environment and pave the way for a more sustainable future.   #FutureOfCement #Sustainability #Innovation #SustainabilityAwards2024 #ClimateAction #Construction

Fantastic day yesterday visiting our colleagues at our site in Dunkirk aswell as touring the steelworks. Keep that GGBS coming team aswell as the future low carbon innovations! Privilege to see the beaches of Dunkirk aswell and the tributes to Operation Dynamo in 1940. Lest We Forget!

Reduce clinker content.... the take away from the 2nd International Conference in Innovation in Low Carbon Cement and Concrete at University of London with the Institute of Concrete Technology. I think every paper started with the same introduction about the high carbon impact of clinker but many offered novel and different approaches in material science that could be adopted to reduce the clinker content in cement and concrete. Well done to the students, researches, keynotes, organisers and fellow sponsors for an excellent event. It was nice to support this event with my colleagues from Ecocem Global, Mark Till, Matthieu Bertin, Yoann Jainin. When in London... drink tea 🍵 #reduceclinker #lowcarboncement #innovation #sustainability

This year we’re delighted to have participated in the 2nd International Conference on Innovation in Low Carbon Cement and Concrete Technology (ILCCC2024) at UCL in London, and proud to have been platinum sponsors of this event.   Congratulations to Matthieu Bertin on presenting his papers on the durability of Low Carbon binders featuring GGBS and/or high-limestone filler content (50%).   #ILCCC2024 has been a fantastic platform for exchanging the latest global scientific and technical advancements in low carbon cement and concrete technology, promoting their industrial applications. #ConcreteTechnology #Sustainability #Innovation

Join us at the 2nd International Conference on Innovation in Low Carbon Cement & Concrete Technology (ILCCC2024) at UCL in London!   We are thrilled to announce that we are platinum sponsors for this year's conference. Our commitment to advancing sustainable construction materials is stronger than ever.   Today, Matthieu Bertin will be presenting his paper on the Durability of Low Carbon Binders with GGBS and/or High Limestone Filler Content (50%).   This conference is a prime opportunity to exchange the latest global scientific and technical achievements in low-carbon cement and concrete technology, aiming to promote their wide industrial applications.   📅 Date: Today 9th July 🕜 Time: 1:30 PM 🏫 Location: Room B36, Birkbeck College, Malet Street, WC1E 7HX   Come visit us, and let's innovate for a sustainable future!   #ILCCC2024 #ConcreteTechnology #Sustainability #Innovation

Following the Breakthrough Energy Summit in London last week, our Founder and Managing Director Donal O’Riain reflected, “it was good to be reminded that the #technology we need already exists. Now we must commit to the changes necessary to accelerate adoption: https://lnkd.in/dMuF_8V6   Concrete generates almost 8% of all global emissions and clinker, the critical ingredient in cement, is responsible for over 90% of emissions from concrete. Rapid and sustained #decarbonisation of the cement sector can make a meaningful difference to reducing CO2.   ➡ The good news is that technology exists today that can deliver a 70% reduction in clinker use, and as a result, in CO2 emissions.   ➡ The need to fast-track decarbonisation is obvious and urgent. Radically reducing cement’s clinker content is the most logical pathway to #SustainableConstruction.   📸: Climate Strategy & Partners     #BESummit24 #FutureOfCement #Cleantech #AdvancingNetZero #Fitfor55 #EUETS

On Wednesday, our European Managing Director, Conor O'Riain, attended the Climate Tech Round Tables Forum at London Tech Week to share his insights on #Decarbonisation and materials innovation in the #Cement industry. It was great to take part in such a fantastic event, which was attended by many innovators, leaders, and policy makers from throughout the climate tech industry and to share our insights on how to accelerate cement decarbonisation at scale. Embodied CO2 in #Construction is 11% of all global emissions and clinker - cement's critical ingredient - is responsible for over half of these. Rapid decarbonisation solutions are essential and #ClinkerReduction is key to this transformation.   Our #LowCarbon cement technology, ACT, is an innovative and scalable solution that can reduce emissions from cement by up to 70%, essentially by removing clinker from the equation: https://lnkd.in/gcjEKnnw   #LTW2024 #LondonTechWeek #ClimateTech #FutureOfCement
