Factsheet – How SCMs can help make low-carbon cement and concrete a reality

The urgent need to decarbonise cement and concrete production combined with growing research and development has already resulted in breakthrough solutions to reduce the amount of traditional clinker. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are one of those solutions. By combining different SCMs, more options to reduce traditional clinker usage have become available and are gaining global traction.

This is why our Alliance hosted a deep dive into SCMs and their potential, which saw 60+ participants from across the value chain. We were pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Ruben Snellings (KU Leuven), who guided us through the vairous existing and emerging SCMs – from biomass ashes to recycled glass.
