A way for the cement and concrete industries to cut down on their carbon footprint.
The making of cement is responsible for 9% of all CO2 emissions in the world. Today, fly-ash, which is a byproduct of coal-fired power plants, is added to reduce both the carbon footprint and the cost. But because coal-fired power plants are being shut down in many parts of the world, there is a shortage and prices are going up. The cement and concrete industries have to find alternatives, and the CemShaleTM product made with the CemTowerTM equipment is meeting their growing needs. The CemShaleTM + CemTowerTM solution uses abundant raw materials to make a high-performance, low-cost cement additive with a small carbon footprint. CemShaleTM made on CemTowerTM is cheaper to make because it is made from shale, which is dug up in the same places as limestone, another raw material for cement, and is widely available all over the world. CemShaleTM also uses 95% less carbon than cement and can replace up to 35% of the final cement within standards that have already been agreed upon without changing the properties of the end product. The technology can be used all over the world and could help cut CO2 emissions by up to 4.81 percent by 2050.
