NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete

We, as NEU, appreciated the opportunity to present at the ACI Committee 355 about alternative solutions to reduce carbon emissions of cement production, and low-carbon codes in the USA during the American Concrete Institute Spring Convention in Toronto Canada.

It's #MemberMonday and NEU is recognizing CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation today! Rapid Set cement is a low-carbon cement. During the production of Rapid Set cement, it emits roughly 33% less carbon than normal portland cement due to less limestone and lower processing temperature. Long-term studies have shown that Rapid Set cement concrete outlasts portland cement concrete by a factor of two, reducing the need to replace and repair concrete. This longer lifetime further reduces the carbon footprint of Rapid Set to 66% less than portland cement. ctscement.com
