Advancing CO₂ Reduction with Low-Carbon Materials and Advanced Grinding Technology
Hamburg, Germany – 6th November, 2024
Facing increased regulatory pressures to cut CO₂ emissions, the cement industry is innovating to meet ambitious climate goals. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) producers are increasingly adopting low-carbon materials like limestone, fly ash, volcanic rock and slag. By incorporating these materials, OPC producers can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 30% with minimal additional investment.
Central to these reductions is the adoption of “seperate grinding technology”, which allows for optimal processing of each component individually. This method not only increases the Blaine value of the finely ground materials, enhancing their performance, but also meets handling challenges by employing pneumatic conveying. This advanced grinding and transport process is essential for the seamless integration of low-carbon admixtures.
Claudius Peters is at the forefront of these technological advancements, helping our customers meeting both the regulatory demands and sustainability goals, supporting a low-carbon future for construction worldwide.
Finally, rising production costs due to the energy crisis have intensified the need for efficiency. To support this, governments are offering funding to improve energy consumption. Claudius Peters is leading the way in R&D and assisting customers in accessing these funds, driving CO₂ reduction while helping manage costs in sustainable cement production.
