In the November 2024 issue of Global Cement Magazine we are very pleased to speak with Dato’ Yeoh Soo Keng, the AFCM President, about the cement sector in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the countries covered by the AFCM event. There’s a review of the German cement sector and a look at the Carbon2Business project being undertaken by Holcim at its Lägerdorf plant. There’s also an in-depth cement plant report from Iraq in the Middle East & African cement section. Technical topics in this issue include alternative fuels, ultra-fine slag grinding, plant audits, marine loading/unloading, health and safety compliance and a concrete admix that absorbs atmospheric CO2. Elsewhere, there’s an in-depth interview with the Association of Low-Carbon Cement & Concrete (ALCCC) and a Global Cement report on white cement markets. #cement Read the full issue here: https://lnkd.in/ep6PUGbM

To reduce CO2 emissions, the proportion of Portland clinker in cements should be minimised. While this lowers early strength, this can be boosted by using reactive fine materials. Loesche has developed a multicyclone plant that produces fine composites with low energy demand. Tests with granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) showed that these so-called ‘ultra-fines’ (U/Fines) significantly improve the early strength of slag-rich cements, enabling their use in challenging applications like precast elements or shotcrete.

"CarbonCure uses a technology that injects captured CO₂ into fresh concrete, which is mineralised and permanently stored, and which enables concrete producers to reduce cement usage while maintaining strength. The solution integrates into existing concrete plant operations, allowing for both environmental benefits via a reduced CO₂ footprint and cost savings through reduced cement consumption, according to the company." As Global Cement reports, CarbonCure’s technologies enable concrete producers to gain a competitive advantage and grow their businesses with high-performing, adjusted concrete—diversifying revenue streams and tapping into the surging demand for sustainable building materials.
