U.S. Department of Energy to create Low-Carbon Cement and Concrete Center of Excellence to reduce industrial emissions The U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) is launching a Cement and Concrete Center of Excellence to drive the development of low-carbon cement and concrete technologies. Up to $9 million will be available for national labs to lead the center, fostering collaboration among academia, government, and industry to enhance the U.S. cement and concrete sector's competitiveness and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This initiative is a key part of DOE's strategy to decarbonize U.S. industries by moving innovations from lab to market. The center will unite researchers, engineers, and industry stakeholders to create, test, and validate new low-carbon materials, ensuring their safe and efficient adoption. Concrete, critical to U.S. infrastructure, is a major source of CO2 emissions. As demand grows, so does the need for sustainable solutions. The center will play a pivotal role in developing and standardizing these technologies, reducing costs, and enhancing sustainability. It will focus on test method development, modeling, data collection, monitoring, and carbon accounting to support the industry's transition to low-carbon practices.

#European #energy company Vattenfall has signed a letter of intent with Cemvision for the development and future supply of Cemvision’s near-zero #emission cement. They said CemVision’s new #cement has the potential to emit 95% less #carbondioxide that traditional cement by 2030. Cemvision chief executive Oscar Hållén said the company had already cut its cement’s #emissions by 80%, and more reductions were on the way. It makes cement from recycled #mining and steel #waste, and heats it in kilns fuelled by #fossilfree energy. Vattenfall said it could be used to make foundations for #windturbines and prefabricated #concrete elements. “Both Vattenfall and its subcontractors could become important new customers for this #innovative new product,” Vattenfall said. Oscar Hållén added: “Near-zero emission cement is the most #efficient way to achieve significant #climate benefits without increasing the overall cost of a #construction project. It does not have to be difficult to change, but it is important to start in time and help accelerating the transition.” Vattenfall’s head of sustainability Annika Ramsköld said her company wanted to help develop a market for near-zero emission cement by creating demand. She said Vattenfall could also help with product verification at its concrete laboratory. “The #global impact of cement production makes it necessary to find a way forward with as low #carbon emissions as possible, the climate and the future of construction demand it,” she said. As a member and founder of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), Vattenfall has pledged that at least 10% of its cement or concrete purchases will be “as close to zero emissions as possible” by 2030. Making Portland cement contributes emits 850kg of carbon emissions per tonne of cement. FMC members are committed to buying cement or concrete that falls below 184 kg CO2e/tonne. Cemvision says its new cement is expected to be 45kg CO2e/tonne.

Zero-carbon cement on the horizon! Researchers from Cambridge have developed an exciting transformative method to recycle concrete and steel simultaneously, reducing CO2 emissions significantly. By using old concrete in steel-processing furnaces, they produce "reactivated cement" as a byproduct. With renewable energy, this process could lead to carbon-zero cement. https://lnkd.in/eN9k5GBK Green Advantage offers three credentials to construction-related personnel. Two are green builder certifications. The other focuses on risk management in delivering healthcare construction. All three help familiarize personnel with the best practices needed to deliver healthy, high performance buildings.

Vattenfall has partnered with CemVision to develop and supply near-zero emission cement for turbine bases. The new cement has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 95% compared to traditional cement and can be used in power distribution and prefabricated concrete elements as well as hardware foundations. The cement is made from recycled residual materials from sectors including mining and steel industries manufacturing in a process where CemVision’s kilns are fueled by fossil-free energy. Compared to traditional cement production, which emits large amounts of carbon dioxide due to the use of virgin limestone and fossil fuels, CemVision can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 95%. The initiative aligns with Vattenfall's commitment to sustainable construction and climate action, emphasizing the importance of early transition to greener technologies. This collaboration reflects a significant step towards reducing the environmental impact of cement production and fostering innovation in the construction industry. https://lnkd.in/d6jwdzZW #OnshoreWind #Sustainability #OdinGlobal

Team/R&D Update 📣 Interested in novel energy-efficient carbon capture technology that supports heavy industry in reaching net-zero? Assistant Professor Michał P. Drewniok is part of an eighteen-month, Innovate UK Research and Innovation funded, collaborative R&D CCSCOC project led by Cocoon, which builds on Cocoon's unique, patent-pending process that captures CO2-emissions made during steel production, and mineralises them within the molten waste from the same production process. They are working on refining and scaling-up the process to industrial levels - demonstrating its effectiveness against slag from next-generation steel production (e.g. EAF and SS slags), enabling rapid commercialisation post-project. The technology has the potential for gigatonne-scale CO2 removal - unlocking a £274m/annum revenue opportunity for Cocoon by 2031 with ~50% exports- novel energy-efficient carbon capture technology for mineralising carbon in molten waste to support heavy industry to reach net-zero.

👀 Could zero carbon cement be the future of building and construction? Concrete and steel production are major sources of CO2 emissions, but a new solution from Cambridge could recycle both at the same time. 🚩 Concrete is the world’s most used building material, with concrete production alone responsible for about 8% of total global CO2 emissions. 🚩 The current problem is that it’s not easy to recycle back into a form that can be used to make new concrete structures. ♻️ However, throwing old concrete into steel-processing furnaces not only purifies iron but produces “reactivated cement” as a byproduct. If done using renewable energy, the process could make for completely carbon-zero cement. 💬 "Producing zero emissions cement is an absolute miracle, but we’ve also got to reduce the amount of cement and concrete we use," said Professor Julian Allwood, who led the research. #innovations #greentech #circulareconomy #circularity #sustainability

Researchers have developed a new method to produce green cement with near-zero emissions. By integrating steel and cement recycling, this innovative process uses electric furnaces from the steel industry to recycle cement from demolished buildings. The resulting material can then be used in new construction projects, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of cement production. This groundbreaking approach, detailed in a recent Nature paper, has the potential to transform one of the world's most polluting industries. As Professor Julian Allwood from the University of Cambridge states, "It's remarkably simple... and it did work." The method involves using recycled cement as flux in steel recycling, producing usable cement from the byproduct slag. The first large-scale trial is set to begin with the Spanish company CELSA GROUP in Cardiff, Wales, aiming to produce up to 30 tons per hour. This initiative could meet 25% of global cement demand by 2050, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional cement production. With construction firms increasingly striving to meet net-zero goals, innovations like Cambridge Electric Cement are essential. As Claude Lorea from the GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association Association highlights, a whole-life approach is crucial for these projects. #Sustainability #GreenCement #Decarbonization #CircularEconomy #EarthResponsibilityScore
