Production of a more sustainable and cost-effective low-carbon cement, often nicknamed “green” cement, is scaling up. A new plant next to an existing cement plant in Redding, California, will produce about 15,000 tonnes of low-carbon cement every year. This could be used to make about 50,000 cubic metres of concrete, which is less than 0.0004% of the world’s concrete production.
This simole web-based tool empowering design and build teams to specify low-carbon concrete for various parts of a building project to achieve GO2 reduction targets.
New technologies are needed to create a more resilient and less carbon-intensive building and infrastructure for the future.
Showcasing Holcim’s innovative and sustainable building solutions to scale up low-carbon, circular and energy-efficient building.
It is estimated that carbonation could offset up to 43% of calcination emissions during cement production.
Concrete efficiency could deliver nearly a quarter of the reductions required to meet the industry’s 2050 zero-emissions goal
