FUTURECEM®

FUTURECEM^® – Low carbon cement

FUTURECEM® road bridge

What is FUTURECEM<sup>®</sup> ?

FUTURECEM^®:

is based on unique synergy between limestone and calcined clay which allows clinker replacement in cement;
comes from an extensive applied research, which has been developed in recent years at the Cementir Group Research and Quality Centre located in Aalborg, Denmark, covering the entire value chain: from raw material assessment, manufacturing technology, up to concrete technology;
the low carbon benefits of FUTURECEM^® are achieved preserving strength and quality consistency;
launched in the market in 2021 in Denmark and in 2022 in Northern France and Benelux.

Why is FUTURECEM<sup>®</sup> more sustainable than ordinary cement?

FUTURECEM^® is more sustainable because it:

determines approx. 30% CO₂ emission reduction in the manufacturing phase, as certified through its Environmental product Declaration (EPD) ;
enables production of durable concrete with reduced clinker content by exploiting synergies of two largely available materials;
is fully acknowledged as a solution for clinker ratio reduction in the roadmap for “Low Carbon transition in the cement industry” by the International Energy Agency – 2018 and as “low clinker cement” in the “Cementing the European Green Deal”-2020, making Cementir Group the frontrunner;
it is a proven innovation: successfully used in concrete applications for building two bridges in Denmark (project “Green Concrete II”).
