In the UK, a government-sponsored innovation programme has successfully produced a new low-carbon cement, which has the potential to cut down the carbon emissions up to 60 per cent as compared to the emissions of the leading cement maker in the UK.
The Research supported by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and led by the Mineral Products Association (MPA), highlights that the newly developed cement in the trial could save up to 4 metric tonnes of direct CO2 every year which is equivalent to taking 2.2 million cars off the road.
Dr Richard Leese, MPA Director, Industrial Policy, Energy and Climate Change shared the developments of the project and said, "This is a huge step forward in the delivery of the UK concrete and cement industry’s roadmap to beyond net zero. These new cement have the potential to accelerate real environmental savings for construction projects and complement the sector’s wider decarbonisation programme."
