Sustainable Cement? IITs & Global
A collaboration of global institutes and IITs has found that Limestone Calcined Clay Cement, or LC3, is a sustainable alternative that cuts CO2 emissions by 40% and is significantly cheaper to produce.
A green cement with a promise to keep
This is not a pipe dream to reduce the environmental impact of construction, but a concrete solution — literally. Since the late 1990s a cement alternative is being developed and experimented with in India. A substitute that is economical, requires less energy to produce, uses waste material, is more environment friendly, and equals in strength with the existing ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and Pozzolana Portland cement (PPC).
