Low Clinker Concrete Solutions

Low Clinker Concrete Solutions

Concrete production accounts for about 8% of man-made CO₂ emissions worldwide, of which up to 90% is due to cement clinker production. Substituting clinker contained in cement and ultimately in concrete with alternative materials such as limestone filler or supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can save considerable amounts of carbon emissions. However, these more sustainable materials do not come without their own challenges and influence the concrete properties: Loss in workability, worsening of rheology, and the reduction of strength.

The intelligent cluster system MasterCO₂re overcomes performance gaps associated with low-clinker concrete production supporting our customer's demanding process to reduce clinker and achieve sustainable concrete performance.

Three Ways to Reduce Clinker:

• Cement type: Through the usage of cements with lower clinker content

• Cement dosage: By reducing the cement amount in concrete

• ​Blending: Re​placing part of the cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)

MasterCO₂re pushes the limits of low-clinker concrete by enabling the easy usage of high volumes of clinker substitutes while safeguarding substantial performance characteristics.
