Reducing the CO2 in Concrete by 50+ %
Next Generation SCM is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of concrete through the production and implementation of calcined clay SCM.
In a recent UN report, the world will continue to urbanize over the next three decades—from 56 per cent in 2021 to 68 per cent in 2050. This translates into an increase of 2.2 billion urban residents
In fact, we need to build the equivalent of New York City, every month until 2050, to supply the surge of urban residents
The cement industry alone is responsible for approximately 7-8% of global CO2 emissions.
So, there is no future without cement – but also no future for cement without decarbonization
What is SCM and what is the market for SCM?
Based in UK and Dubai, NEXT GENERATION SCM is an industrial venture aimed at mass producing low to no carbon footprint SCM using new, patented revolutionary technology.
For every ton of Portland cement replaced by our SCM, a 95-100% reduction in CO2 emissions is achieved.
SCM – or Cementitious Supplementary Materials are substitutions for Portland Cement in Concrete mixes. These have traditionally been bi-products of CO2 intensive industrial production such as fly ash or slag.
Our premium high performance calcined clay is literally “Next Generation” and it allows for a much higher substitution than for traditional SCM’s due to the high reactivity.

About Us
Next Generation SCM is a UK company, established in 2023 by Christian Husum, a successful and experienced serial entrepreneur and former corporate lawyer.Through his network, Christian was able to secure a hugely valuable, exclusive license within a blue ocean market.
Next Generation SCM has an exclusive license to produce calcined clay on the CemTower technology in the Middle East and Northern Africa plus Ethiopia and we have an option to extend the exclusivity to Greece, Turkey, Israel, Australia, New Zealand and possibly more.
Solving The Global SCM Crisis
The two most used SCM’s today are disappearing:
- Slag from Coal fired Steel Plant kilns is disappearing in Europe due to a shift into Electric steel plants and the EU-ETS will likely close the rest. Slag is now predominantly available in Asia and is expensive and CO2 intensive to transport.
- Fly Ash is disappearing in Europe as the Coal-Phase Out continues. Fly Ash is relatively inexpensive, but the substitution is limited compared to Slag and it is also expensive and CO2 intensive to transport.
Our Technology supplier
CemGreen is a Danish company, established in 2016 with a vision to become the leading knowledge provider to cement and concrete manufacturers for the utilisation of clay deposits by commercialising in-house developed technical SCM solutions by partnering with established cement producers and other stakeholders.
News and insights
The worlds biggest concrete supplier has approved the technology
Fortune 500 company CRH, which is listed on the NYSE and with a current market cap of US$55 billion, is the biggest concrete supplier in the world. CRH owns 60% of the first SCM factory using the same technology as we have the rights to. Employing 75,800 people at 3,160 operating locations in 29 countries, CRH has market leadership positions in both North America and Europe.
“I believe that integrating our calcined clay in the construction industry is the cheapest and easiest way to reduce the CO2 footprint of concrete by more than 50%. Our product produces zero to 37 kilo CO2 per ton compared to 811 kilo CO2 per ton from the production of Ordinary Portland Cement. Our calcined clay can substitute cement 35-58% with no loss in strength, durability or workability and it is the same price as traditional SCM’s – I call this a win-win-winfor the industry, the end users and our planet”
