Green Cement with 95% Lower CO₂ for Construction
Green Cement for Sustainable and Low Carbon Construction
Tags: Monash University, Australia, Construction & Smart Cities, Energy & Environment
Monash University researchers have developed a novel green cement made from industrial and agricultural waste, achieving a 95% reduction in CO₂ emissions and a 41% cost savings compared to Portland cement. The cement is ambient-cured, has exceptional fire resistance, and provides mechanical strength of 25 MPa with 66% greater flexibility than traditional cement. Applications include walls, bricks, tiles, and filler materials, making it suitable for a variety of construction needs. This innovation promotes a circular economy by diverting waste from landfills and provides a sustainable solution to decarbonizing the construction industry. An Australian provisional patent has been filed (AU2023903796) to protect this environmentally friendly technology.
