Close-up of powdered low carbon cement material used in sustainable concrete production

Low-carbon cement is any cementitious binder engineered to deliver the same structural performance as conventional ordinary Portland cement while producing substantially lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, primarily by reducing clinker content, altering raw materials, or changing the chemistry of hydration. In practice, this means cutting the largest source of cement emissions, calcination of limestone and … Read more
