Conclusions from the most innovative conference on decarbonization by using alternative fuesl and alternative raw materials are clear: financing green solutions and the implication of all stakeholders is essential for lowering the emmissions footprint of cement and construction, one of the heaviest polluters sectors. CarbonZero: Alternative Fuels and Raw Materials Global Conference and Exhibition 2024,...
Pivotal moment for the concrete construction market Manufacturers of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (“SCMs”), which can displace a large portion of the Portland cement typically used in concrete while emitting significantly lower carbon emissions have a tremendous market opportunity. While fresh ash production from coal plants is in decline, vast supplies of non-traditional SCMs, such as...
The North American concrete industry today faces the critical challenge of lowering its carbon footprint. Globally, the sector is responsible for 8% of anthropogenic carbon emissions—almost wholly the result of the manufacture of the Portland cement that is commonly used to bind together the constituent materials in concrete. Manufacturers of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (“SCMs”), which...
