Concrete is one of the most important substances on earth. After water, it is the most consumed product on earth. Yet it’s key ingredient – cement – is extremely polluting. It is responsible for over 90 per cent of the carbon footprint of concrete. Overall, every tonne of cement manufactured emits almost one tonne of CO2.
Ecocem is a pioneer of high-performance cement technology for the deep and rapid decarbonisation of the cement and concrete industries. This technology has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the cement industry by as much as 70%
The world needs cement. From housing, sanitation, and places of education and health to roads, flood defences and sustainable energy sources, cement is the glue that holds it all together.
World-first project validates more than a decade of research and demonstrates the scalability of breakthrough low-carbon cement technology
Trial with Belgian precast specialist C-concrete demonstrates ACT can reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by 67.5% without changes to existing precast manufacturing processes
The consortium of Cairn, UCD, Kilsaran, and Ecocem has secured €50,000 in funding from Construct Innovate, Ireland’s national Construction Technology Centre, to validate an innovative low-carbon cement capable of significantly cutting Ireland’s CO2 emissions from the construction sector.
Tata Steel IJmuiden (TSIJ) and Ecocem Materials Ltd. (Ecocem) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their collaboration on the development and potential use of two next-generation steelmaking slags in low‑carbon cement, mortar, and concrete applications across Europe.
