LC3 Day in Portugal
On Tuesday May 28, more than 220 people interested in the theme gathered at the National Laboratory for Engineering (LNEC) in Lisbon for a full day of presentations and dialogue. After the inauguration by the Director of the LNEC, scientific knowledge was presented as well as outlooks into the worldwide and also the national perspectives for the new technology.
LC3 Day Lisbon: Leading towards Sustainable cement
We are thrilled to announce that on May 28th, 2024, Lisbon, Portugal, will be the site for the LC3 conference, a groundbreaking event focusing on the latest advancements in sustainable cement production. The Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) in Lisbon, Portugal, will host the LC3 conference at its headquarters on May 28th, 2024.
“Hands on” Workshop in Sta. Clara
It was a magnificent event with the participation of some 40 construction professionals from different countries, organizations, universities, public and private companies. The importance of this type of event is to highlight the alternatives that the world has to reduce and mitigate the effects of climate change caused by CO2 emissions.
The planet needs a new cement
It is estimated that 8% of global CO2 emissions come from cement production. Some sources even state that up to ten percent of the most important greenhouse gases are released during the manufacturing process of said material.
Un cemento para el Nobel
Desde hace casi una década, expertos cubanos y suizos dirigidos por el profesor Fernando Martirena amasan la idea de producir el primer cemento ecológico cubano, un proyecto que pudiera germinar este año en la fábrica Siguaney.
Low Carbon cement gains in Non-US markets
A new type of low-carbon cement that is based on a blend of limestone and calcined clay is gaining acceptance in developing countries and is expected to be commercially produced next year in South America.
COP 27… Lime calcined clay cement is a game-changer
In Egypt, Convention number 27 on climate change has started. The progress since number 26 is minimal, declarations are not followed up and the climate change progresses.
Cuba produce un cemento menos costoso y mas resistente
En tiempos en que el cemento se ubica como el segundo material más usado del planeta y su producción una de las más extendidas y nocivas al medio ambiente, una fórmula desarrollada por especialistas cubanos y suizos procura transformar esta dicotomía.
Cemento de bajo carbono gana espacio en el mundo
El lanzamiento internacional este martes de información sobre el cemento de bajo carbono, también conocido como LC3, demuestra el impacto que va teniendo a escala mundial esta tecnología, proyecto en el cual Cuba ocupa un lugar de privilegio a partir del trabajo desarrollado por el Centro de Investigaciones y Desarrollo de Materiales (CIDEM), perteneciente a la Universidad Central Marta Abreu de Las Villas.
Low carbon cement (LC3) technology resource centre
LC3 Technology Resource Centre (LC3-TRC) has been established in Cuba to act as interface between industry an academy for a swift introduction of the new developments in the area of LC3 in the Latin American Region.
New LC3 Cement mixture developed
Swiss, Indian and Cuban researchers have come together to develop limestone calcined clay cement (LC3), wich can help reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of the cement by almost 30%.
