Reducing the CO2 in Concrete by 50+ %
The Opportunity
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
The cement industry alone is responsible for approximately 7-8% of global CO2 emissions.
In fact, we need to build the equivalent of New York City, every month until 2050, to supply the surge of urban residents
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?
Our calcined clay is literally “Next Generation” and it allows for a much higher substitution than for traditional SCM’s.
News and insights
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.
- Meanwhile both Slag and Fly Ash are not likely to keep their zero CO2 status as both the steel and energy sectors have CO2 reduction targets to meet as well.
- Next Generation SCM can solve the SCM crisis by producing calcined clay with a consistent high quality, which can be used with a high substitution. We will use a commonly found feedstock and we can produce locally with little to no CO2 footprint.
- And our SCM will solve the crisis without customers paying a premium
