Future-oriented Demands for Ecological Building Materials
Cement produced with 30% additives uses 230kg or 27% less CO 2 than conventional cement without additives.
The integration of sustainability into all operations now sets the international cement industry’s agenda. The implications for cements are already clear. Their energy and carbon footprint must be reduced over time without jeopardising product performance. The increasing availability of blended cements for use in concrete, mortar and grout plus the continued production of niche masonry cements for use only in mortar will help the industry to meet its social and environmental obligations and achieve necessary economic objectives. A commitment to the environment runs throughout many of the process solutions offered by the Schenck Process Group, e.g. systems designed to optimise the use of alternative fuels (energy from waste), coal-washing plants (to reduce airborne pollution) or environmental controls in power plants (to reduce NO x and SO x emissions). And we are proud of the contribution that we make. Furthermore, enabling cement producers to reduce their investment levels in capital equipment and operating costs utilising the MULTICOR ® blending system to homogeneously and accurately blend cement with a secondary constituent contributes to users being able to reduce their environmental pollutants, e.g. CO 2 emissions.
