Suvo Strategic Minerals secures government funding for low-carbon "Colliecrete"15 November 2024, Published under Cement NewsSuvo Strategic Minerals Ltd has secured AUD380,236 (US$ 246,151) in funding from the Australian's government under its R&D Incentive Scheme to support ongoing research into its low-carbon cement technology, "Colliecrete." The Perth-based company’s proprietary geopolymer cement formulation reportedly achieves a 50 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to traditional ordinary Portland cement (OPC). In partnership with Murdoch University, Suvo entered an intellectual... |
UltraTech Cement partners with UCLA on zero carbon lime Technology Pilot08 November 2024, Published under Cement NewsUltraTech Cement Ltd , India’s largest cement and ready-mix concrete (RMC) producer, has signed an agreement with the Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) at UCLA to pilot the Zero Carbon Lime (ZeroCAL) technology at one of its cement manufacturing units. The pioneering ZeroCAL process, developed by ICM, has the potential to eliminate nearly 98 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions from limestone decomposition—a critical component of cement manufacturing. The collaboration will involve t... |
Princeton University study uses human bones as model for strengthening cement15 October 2024, Published under Cement NewsInspired by the structure of human bone, researchers at Princeton University have developed a new cement-based material that is 5.6 times more damage-resistant than conventional alternatives. This breakthrough, detailed in a September 10 article in 'Advanced Materials', offers a significant improvement in the durability of cement-based materials commonly used in construction. Led by Reza Moini, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Shashank Gupta, a PhD candid... |
Report confirms cement co-processing as sustainable solution for EoL composites10 October 2024, Published under Cement NewsA recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report, commissioned by nine key industry associations and conducted by SGS INTRON, has confirmed the significant environmental benefits of treating End-of-Life (EoL) composites through co-processing in cement facilities. The independent, peer-reviewed study highlights that this process could play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting circular economy goals. The report, which examines the environmental impact of co-processing glass... |
MPA study finds waste clay and bricks could reduce embodied carbon of cement by 30%30 August 2024, Published under Cement NewsUsing waste clay and bricks in the cement production process could reduce the final product’s embodied carbon by as much as 30 per cent, according to a recent report. Led by the Mineral Products Association (MPA) with funding from Innovate UK, the two-year study found that reclaimed clays and finely-ground brick powder can be used in the manufacture of cement and concrete to lower associated emissions compared with the leading CEM I cement. The report also found that if calcined clays ... |
Recycled cement paste offers decarbonisation opportunities17 July 2024, Published under Cement NewsProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) have published a new study, which found that recycling cement paste is one of the cheapest and most efficient methods of reducing emissions from cement production. Led by experts at Imperial College London’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, this research explores how waste cement paste that has undergone CO 2 mineralisation can be a cost-effective method of cement emissions reduction. The study found that CO 2 mine... |
