New Report: Adoption of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement and Concrete in the U.S. Market This joint study by?The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)?and?Global Efficiency Intelligence?explores the potential of limestone calcined clay cement (LCCC) to lower carbon emissions of cement and concrete production in the U.S. It compares limestone calcined clay cement with traditional portland cement production, advocating for policies and measures to promote their broader use. Some of our key findings: - Limestone calcined clay cement (LCCC) offers a 40% reduction in carbon intensity over traditional portland cement and can be used directly in cement or concrete mixes. - By incorporating LCCC in government-funded construction, a switch of half their cement use to LCCC could cut U.S. cement industry CO2 emissions by 9% annually, saving 7.3 million metric tons. - Private sector adoption of LCCC could potentially double its impact on reduction of U.S. carbon emissions. - LCCC production is up to 25% cheaper than portland cement, offering significant cost savings through reduced energy and material expenses. - The production of LCCC allows for greater energy efficiency due to lower required temperatures and can be paired with renewable energy to move towards zero emissions in the cement sector. - Collaboration among governments, industry, NGOs, and other stakeholders is crucial to address challenges and bolster LCCC adoption in the U.S. Download the report from the link below or from ACEEE's website to learn more. Recently, the U.S. DOE announced $6 billion for industrial decarbonization projects, three of which were for limestone calcined clay cement and concrete production. That's a great start! #cement?#concrete?#decarbonization?#climatepolicy?#embodiedcarbon
