    Concept: Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) combines limestone with calcined clay to create a low-carbon alternative to traditional Portland cement. It leverages limestone’s benefits while incorporating clay’s pozzolanic properties to further reduce clinker content and emissions. 2. Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) with Limestone in Cement Concept: Limestone can be integrated into carbon capture and…
