Solutions for Low Clinker Concrete
Concrete production accounts for about 8% of man-made CO2 emissions worldwide, of which up to 90% is due to cement clinker production. Substituting clinker contained in cement and ultimately in concrete with alternative materials such as limestone filler or supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can save considerable amounts of carbon emissions. However, these more sustainable materials do not come without their own challenges and influence the concrete properties: Loss in workability, worsening of rheology, and the reduction of strength.
The intelligent cluster system MasterCO2re overcomes performance gaps associated with low-clinker concrete production supporting our customer's demanding process to reduce clinker and achieve sustainable concrete performance.
Three Ways to Reduce Clinker:
- Cement type: Through the usage of cements with lower clinker content
- Cement dosage: By reducing the cement amount in concrete
- Blending: Replacing part of the cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)
MasterCO2re pushes the limits of low-clinker concrete by enabling the easy usage of high volumes of clinker substitutes while safeguarding substantial performance characteristics.
