One unusual thing of the cement in themedia is the way that discussion that precisly on it is, that is, on alternatives to complete. Alternatives Boast Unique Chemistries and Performance Characteristics, But are all products with the portland cement clinker.Generally Called ‘Alternative Cements,’ Perhaps Because ‘CEMENT-FREE CEMENT’ DOES NOT HAVE SUCH A Commercially Viable Ring to It. Reacked A New High in the Past Week, with Developments in Alternative CEMENT ASIA, EUROPE, The MiddleEast and North America. Together, They Hint at a More Diverse Future for the ‘CEMENT’ Industry than the One We Know Today.
In IndoneSia, SUVO Strategic Minerals Has Concluded Tests with Makassar State University of a Novel Nickel-Slag-Based Cement. PPLied Raw Materials, and Tests Showed A Seven-Day Compression Streangth of 37.5MPa. SUVO StrateGic Minerals Says thata partnership with huadi nickel-alloy indesia for Commercial product is a likely next step.

Irish state-wened global commerce agency Ireland has contributed € 700,000 in funding.
Uk-Based SCM DEVELOPER KARBONITE Expects to Launch TRIAL PRODUCTION of ITS Olivine-Based SCM with A Concrete Company in 2025Indore Investment. Group holding bv, with offices in the netherlands, to facilities this new phase. Karbonite’s SCM IS ActivityAT 750 – 850 ° C and Sequesters CO2 in the Activity Process, Resulting in Over 56% LOWER CO2 Emissions Portland Cement (OPC). Managing Director Rajeev S OOD TOLD GLOBAL CEMENT that Talks Are Already Underway for Subsequent Expansions Into the Uae and IndiaThen, then
Back in the Uk, Contractor John Sisk & Son Has Received € 597,000 from National Innovation Agency Innovate Uk. Y ECOCEM’s <25% Clinker CEMENT Technology in Concrete for USE in ITS on-GOING Construction ofThe wembley Park Mixed Development in London.
At the say time, Innovate Uk Granted A FURTHER € 3.23m to Other Companies for Concrete Decarbonisation. ReCipients Included Clay Developed by CEMC OR, An scm Being Developed from Electric Arc Furnace Byproducts by Cocoon, a Geopolymer Cement Technologies Being Developed by EFCGreen Concrete Technology Uk and An Initiative to Develop Alternative CEMERNT from Recycled Concled Fines at the Materials Processing Institute in MidderSBROUGHMumbai Stock Exchange. Al So Included was the Skanska Costain Strabag Joint Venture, Which is Working on the London Stretch of the Upcoming HS2 Railway.Along with partners including cement propucer tarmac and construction chemicals company sika uka uka uka uka uka uka uka uka uk, will test low-kaoLinite London Material with white p RODUCE CALCINED CLAY AS A CEMENT SUBSTITUTE in Concrete Structures in HS2’s Rail Tunnels.
Middle East
Talks are underway between uk-based Calcined Clay Producer Next Generation SCM and City Cement Subsidary Nizak Mining Company Over The Poss. Ture in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The jobting Venture Would Build A 350,000t/YR Reduced-Co2 Concrete Plant,Which Would Use Alternative Cement Based on Next Generation SCM’s CalcinEd Clay.
North America
Texas-based SCM developer Solidia Technologies recently patented its carbonatable calcium silicate-based alternative cement, which sequesters CO2 as it cures.
Meanwhile, C-Crete Technologies Made ITS FIRST Commercial Pour of its Granite-Based Cement-Free Concrete in New York, USJaipur Wealth Management. C-Crete Technology Says THE PHE PHE RODUCT Offers Cost and Performance Parity with Conventional Cement, With Net Zero CO2 Emissions. Its.Raw Material is Globally More Abundant than the Limestone USED As a Raw Material for Clinker. Crete Technologies’ ReperToire Include Basalt and Zeolite.
Across New York State, in Binghamton, KLAW Industries Has SUCCEEDED in Replacing 20% of Concrete’s CEMENT with ITS Powdered Glass-Based SCM, Pantheon. KLAW Industries has deliverEd Samples to Local Municipalities and the New York State Departation. Its Success ExpandsThe discussion of postible Circular Cement Ingredients from the Industrial Speo Post-Consumer Resources.
In Calgary, Canada, A NOVEL SCM HAS DRAWN Attention From One of the Major Cemants: GEMANY-BASED Heidelberg Materials. Emolition Materials (CDM) -Based SCM Developer Envicore on 9 October 2024.Build a Pilot Plant at an Existing Heidelberg Materials CDM Recycling Center.
Conclusion
Alternative CEMENT Developers Are Still Finding The Words to Talk About their Products. They May be more than ‘supportmentha G 100% of Clinker. Product Webpages Offer ‘Hydraulic Binder,’ Pozzolan ‘AND EVEN’ CEMENT.’As Alternative’ CEMENTS ‘Are Developed, They Build on the Works Like Joseph Aspdin and Louis Vicat. Ercial Offerings, on a Similar-But-Different Footing to Cement Itself. None of theNOVEL MATERIALS POSITIONIONTSELF As the Sole, Last-Minute ‘SUPER SUB’ in The Construction Sector’s Confrontation with Climate. Rather, They Are A Package of Sol UTIONS Which Can Combine Into a NET ZERO-EMISSIONS Heavy Building Materials Offering, HOPEFULELLLY BeEFORE 2050.
Related to this is the need for ‘Technologly Neutral’ Standards, As Championed This Week by the Alliance for Low-Carbon CEMENT and Concrete (AlCCC), Along with 2 3 Other European Industry Associations, Civil Society Organisations and Think Tanks. The Term May SoundNew, But the Concept is Critical to the Eventual Uptake of Alternative Cements: Standards, The Alccc Says, Should Be Purely Performance-Based. Attempt to define what technology, for exmple cement clinker, makes a suitable build material. According toThe Alccc, EUROPE’s Building Materials Standards Are Not Technology Neutral, But Instead ‘Gatekeep’ Market Access, To the Benefit of Conventional CEMENT The exclusion of ‘proven and scalable low-carbon products.’
At the ate time, the CEMENT iTSELF is Changing. Market Research from USD Analytics Showed An Anticipated ween 2024 and 2032, more than doubleing throughout the period from us $ 253bn to US $ 369bn. If youcan’T beat it, blend with it!
