ACT is the next generation of #LowCarbon cement technology. So how do we know it works? ACT is the culmination of a decade of #research and #innovation by Ecocem to develop scalable, sustainable, low-carbon, competitive cement technologies. The #technology is currently undergoing rigorous trials which are already demonstrating the carbon reduction possible using ACT – in effect, a 70% reduction in CO2 compared with the average European cement blend. Trials have also demonstrated ACT’s performance on several key criteria including: ◾ Strength ◾ Durability ◾ Concrete workability See here for more: https://lnkd.in/gcjEKnnw #FutureOfCement #Cement #Concrete #Decarbonisation #ParisAgreement #AdvancingNetZero Christian Clergue

Cement Materials Specialist / Industrial Research Project Coordinator at FLSmidth Cement - I am driving Innovation towards zero emissions in cement plants
That’s indeed a very interesting post and action towards #cement blends with #lowcarbon emissions - mastering the use of locally-available #SCMs and combining that to advanced #admixtures does provide a fast-track solution to a market that is so eager on reducing #emissions. I am curious to learn more about the composition of the SCMs at question as well as how they compare to composite cements (already in some markets) that have as little as ca. 230kg-CO2equiv/ton of cement. Of course, simply comparing emissions would be too naive… aspects related to cement performance regarding #workability, #durability, #mechanicalstrength, water demand, etc. (in #concrete mixes) would provide the best way to compare various blends - and I understand your currrent ETA has some interesting results. Keep up the excellent work on cement #decarbonisation Ecocem Global Team!

🌱 Could low-carbon cement and steel be cheaper than we think? 💡 🌱While green cement and steel typically cost 25% to 75% more, they only increase the final cost of products like houses or cars by around 1%! 🏡🚗 The world will only move to low-carbon products if they can compete on price. Sectors like solar, wind, and electric vehicles are already closing in on this goal. However, industries like aviation, meat substitutes, cement, and steel still face a significant price gap. 📉 But here's the interesting part: the green premium, or the additional cost for eco-friendly materials, often has a minimal impact on the final product cost. For example, even a 75% increase in the cost of low-carbon cement only raises the price of a house by around 1%. Similarly, green steel would only add a few hundred dollars to the cost of a car. 🚀 These sectors are crucial as they account for 7% to 8% of global carbon emissions. Tackling them is essential for our sustainability goals. 🌍 The green premium may seem daunting, but the real impact on consumer prices is much smaller than anticipated. Imagine the difference we could make if we embraced these greener options! 🌟 🔍 What do you think? How can we further reduce the green premium in these crucial sectors?

Did you know that cement is the core ingredient of concrete, the second most used material on the planet after water? Essential for structures like homes, schools, hospitals, and transportation systems, cement and concrete are crucial for urban development. With a market value exceeding US$440 billion, these materials are vital for urban development as we move towards a future where 68% of the global population will live in cities by 2050. At Leilac, we are helping to make cement production more sustainable by capturing unavoidable emissions and enabling the use of low carbon and clean fuels. By adapting the normal production process to keep CO2 released from raw materials pure, we allow cement and lime plants to efficiently capture the 'hard-to-abate' CO2 that accounts for the majority of the industry's emissions. Stay tuned to learn more about how carbon capture combined with the use of low carbon fuels can transform our industry and contribute to a greener future. Follow us and join our newsletter for more updates on sustainable practices and innovations in cement production. Let's build a better future together! #Cement #Concrete #Infrastructure #UrbanDevelopment #CCUS #Sustainability #Leilac #Innovation #GreenBuilding #CarbonCapture

🧱🔬 Cement, a key ingredient in concrete, has huge potential for capturing CO2! 🌍💚 However, traditional methods struggle with low efficiency and high energy use, often weakening the concrete. But exciting new research is changing the game! 🚀 🔧 Researchers have developed a method that injects CO2 into a cement mixture used to make concrete. This approach: 🌟 Captures up to 45% of CO2 used! 💪 Keeps the concrete just as strong! This effective method promises a reduced carbon footprint and potential for industrial use! 🌐🔋 For more details, check out the full study: https://zurl.co/pwP6. #ConcreteRevolution #CO2Sequestration #SustainableBuilding #GreenTech #Innovation #CarbonTool #LeadTheChange

🌁 With a demand of 14 billion cubic meters in 2020, the concrete and cement industry has a significant carbon footprint. Decarbonizing cement and concrete production is crucial for achieving our 2050 net-zero goals and limiting global warming to a 1.5°C increase. This requires exploring innovative solutions to reduce emissions. 🌱 💡 Moving away from traditional carbon-intensive methods, like Portland cement manufacturing, is essential. To achieve this, we need to reimagine processes, chemistries, and raw materials. Some solutions even have the potential to be carbon-negative, offering a sustainable shift for the industry. For example, Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology allows the capture of carbon from clinker production, helping reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. It can be stored or used by multiple industries, contributing to the circularity of production processes. ♻️ #csls #myklu #factfriday #concrete #cement #solution #sustainability Source: https://lnkd.in/e_F4KqnM

The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) First Movers Coalition (FMC) includes approximately 90 companies who are working together to advance the supply, financing and deployment of emerging clean technologies via bankable projects and innovative offtake agreements. The FMC is primarily focused on decarbonising the worldwide Aluminium, Aviation, Cement and Concrete, Shipping, Steel and Trucking (Road Freight) sectors. Watch the brief video to learn how Brimstone, Fortera, CemVision and CarbonBuilt are significantly reducing carbon emissions in the Cement and Concrete sector. Their contribution is vital to reducing global emissions – considering cement and concrete production currently accounts for up to eight per cent of CO2 emissions.

🚧The #cement industry is up there with #steel in terms of global #carbon emissions. Cement 7-8% carbon emissions Steel 7-8% carbon emissions ✈️For comparison, the air travel industry accounts for 2% of emissions. 🌱A company across the pond is looking to combine efforts to make a reduction in carbon emissions by producing cement … with steel. How? “The process his team developed uses recycled cement as flux during the steel-melting process, and the resulting slag is usable cement.” (In an electric arc furnace.) 🔥The first trial is set for today.
