Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) as a Next-Generation Solution
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…

Limestone in Cement: A Cornerstone for Sustainability and Performance
Key Points Limestone plays a crucial role in cement, acting as both a primary ingredient and an additive that boosts sustainability. It provides the calcium needed for cement to bind materials together, forming the basis of concrete. Modern uses, like in Portland-Limestone Cement (PLC), show it can reduce environmental impact and improve cement qualities, making…
