Carbonaide welcomes the European Commission’s delegated regulation draft on recognizing products based on mineral carbonates and used for construction products as a permanent storage for carbon dioxide. 🎉 ✅ CO₂ shall be considered permanently chemically bound in a product through a controlled utilisation process, which allows for the measurement of the amount of CO₂ bound. The CO₂ remains permanently chemically under normal use of the product for a period of at least several centuries. 🚀 Removing the obligation to surrender allowances for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are captured and utilized permanently in a product will provide an impactful alternative for geological storage and result in significant volumes of CO₂ made available for spurring growth in the nascent utilization industry. Carbonaide’s carbon curing technology helps precast concrete manufacturers decarbonize by reducing the cement consumption in daily production by 20-100%. Part of the cement in the process is replaced by CO₂, which is mineralised and permanently stored. In Carbonaide’s scope is generating high quality CDR credits (using biogenic CO₂) for the voluntary markets, as well as unlocking the potential of the compliance markets. #ccus #concrete #decarbonization #constructionindustry

🌍 Innovating for a Sustainable Future: Greening Cement Production 🌱 Cement production is responsible for about 8% of global CO2 emissions, making it one of the most carbon-intensive industries. However, exciting innovations are paving the way for greener alternatives! Here are some cutting-edge advancements in sustainable cement production: 🔹 Alternative Binders: Utilizing industrial by-products like fly ash and slag can significantly reduce CO2 emissions during cement production. 🔹 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Implementing CCS technology captures CO2 emissions before they are released, which can then be stored or reused. 🔹 Energy Efficiency: Upgrading kilns and adopting energy-efficient technologies can reduce energy consumption and emissions. 🔹 Alternative Fuels: Replacing fossil fuels with biomass and waste-derived fuels lowers the carbon footprint of cement production. 🔹 Low-Carbon Clinker: Developing clinkers that require less energy and emit fewer emissions is another step toward sustainability. A great example is a French startup featured by Deutsche Welle, which has developed methods to drastically cut the CO2 footprint of cement. Learn more about these innovations here: DW Video on Greening Cement. Together, these strategies are helping to transform the cement industry into a more sustainable sector, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change. 🌏✨ https://lnkd.in/e3pEnXEY #Sustainability #GreenEngineering #CementProduction #Innovation #ClimateAction

Turning Waste into Strength with Lithium-Enhanced Green Cement - A groundbreaking study reveals that lithium production waste could revolutionize the cement industry, addressing two pressing issues: the depletion of fly ash, a key ingredient in cement production, and the environmental challenges posed by lithium waste. This discovery promises a sustainable alternative to traditional cement additives and enhances cement strength, paving the way for more environmentally friendly construction practices introducing green cement. Addressing the Fly Ash Shortage Cement has traditionally been strengthened and preserved with the help of fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal in power plants. But fly ash is becoming harder to find as coal-fired power facilities are shutting down. The depletion of this crucial additive poses a significant challenge to the cement industry, which relies on it to enhance the performance of cement.

We’re delighted to announce that our development of the world’s first geopolymer cement emission reduction methodology has been approved and adopted by the UN’s Executive Board of Clean Development Mechanism 🌏 Why does this matter? Because the cement industry alone contributes to 7% of global carbon emissions, with China's share accounting for over half of that. By driving emissions reductions in cement production, we're taking a crucial step towards achieving carbon neutrality goals. Unlike traditional Portland cement, geopolymer cement utilises waste materials like red mud and fly ash, eliminating the need for high-temperature calcination and significantly reducing energy consumption and pollution. This not only makes it environmentally friendly but also unlocks the potential for resource utilisation of waste materials. The approved methodology provides a standardised approach for calculating and verifying emission reductions, motivating businesses and investors to actively engage in low-carbon cement projects.

A clear message coming from yesterday’s Alliance for Low-Carbon Cement & Concrete roundtable on the #NetZero roadmap, was the need to accelerate emissions reduction from cement. Attended by leading companies in the #LowCarbonCement industry, policymakers and NGOs, attendees discussed how to accelerate the adoption of a range of existing solutions which can deliver substantial CO2 reductions by 2030. ⌛ Now is the time to raise ambitions for cement, one of the world’s most carbon-intensive sectors. At the roundtable, the speakers tackled the outdated notion that cement is hard to #decarbonise, and discussed the Alliance’s roadmap (https://lnkd.in/dsh59Jkd) to deliver a low carbon future for the cement and concrete industries by 2030: ➡ Establish a framework in which #cleantech can thrive ➡ Strengthen internal markets through #standards and specifically shift to a performance-based approach ➡ Develop lead markets and stable finance – including developing the potential of #GreenPublicProcurement A special thanks to journalist Dave Keating for moderating the session, joined by Ecocem representatives Jean-Christophe Trassard, low carbon cement leader, Niall O'Hare, Christian Clergue, Eoin Condren and Susan McGarry. #ALCCC #FutureOfCement #SustainableConstruction

Global CO2 emissions from the cement sector exceed 2.5 gigatonnes annually. These emissions mainly stem from two sources: about 60% are direct emissions from the chemical reaction of heated limestone (calcination), and around 40% come from the combustion of fuels used in the kiln and plant operations. Additionally, the electricity consumed in cement production contributes to the sector's overall carbon footprint. Efforts to reduce emissions involve multiple strategies applied across the entire lifecycle of cement and concrete. The roadmap identifies specific interventions that will be crucial in achieving net-zero emissions, with the global average performance presented in the graph below. With my background in construction and my experience working with start-ups in sustainable cement and carbon capture sectors, I'm eager to collaborate with more companies in these industries and make a direct contribution toward achieving these targets. #GreenCement #GreenConcrete #SustainableConstruction #CarbonCapture #CCUS #CleanTechnology
