Objective:
Leading experts in academia and industry will present the latest developments of cements containing calcined clays and limestone (LC3), with emphasis on the environmental and economic impact of the new material.
The program will look closely at the Portuguese, European and West African markets and pinpoint opportunities for use of calcined clays to rapidly decarbonise the sector. You will hear from LC3 Project experts, ‘early adopters’ – companies already producing LC 3 at industrial levels across the world – as well as equipment and admixture suppliers with first-hand experience using LC3.
We are a company specialized in consultancy and implementation of projects for sustainable habitat. We are a division of grupo sofonias, an internationally operating NGO based in Switzerland with more than 40 years of experience. We count on an experienced team of experts in the fields of material science: geologists, chemists, engineers and economists. Ecosolutions has the purpose to act as interface between industry and academy for a swift introduction of nuew developments in the construction sector. We are focus on LC3 cement technology implementation as a green solution for climate change mitigation.
LC3 or Limestone Calcined Clay Cement is a family of composite cements containing Portland clinker, calcined clay and limestone. The LC3 technology promises a sustainable growth of economies around the world by reducing up to 40% CO2 emission compared to Ordinary Portland cement at lower investment and production costs. LC3 uses raw materials and technologies that are already used by the cement industries. The production process is similar to the way of producing normal cements. Thus, they provide a practically viable solution to improve sustainability in the cement industry.
