Join ECSN on the journey to more sustainable construction!
Binders and concrete for the next decade
This is the second webinar that ECSN has organised in the field of sustainable concrete. The first webinar was arranged on 25 November 2021 on the topic ”Concrete and sustainability – an update on ongoing efforts in Europe”.
It is well known that the cement and concrete industry contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions. But at the same time, this industry is now making a huge effort to solve these challenges. Solutions are now being developed using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), or a combination of both. Other solutions are to develop new composite cements where the clinker is replaced partly with new supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Potential approaches are also to re-carbonate old binders to enable them to function as new SCMs. Examples of all these efforts will be presented and discussed in this webinar.
Welcome to the webinar and be a part of the future!
