Pozzolans can be used to control setting, increase durability, reduce cost and reduce pollution without significantly reducing the final compressive strength or other performance characteristics.

“Pozzolan will reduce CO2 emissions from cement manufacturing plants”, these emissions are significant, estimated at around 7% globally.

The major focus of CO2 reduction in the cement industry is on naturally pozzolanic materials such as a group of raw materials referred to as calcined clays – naturally occurring clay deposits that are ‘pozzolanic’. The term Pozzolanic derives from the Roman use of volcanic ashes from Pozzuoli near Naples from where the Romans derived the original cement. The science of cement was lost during the fall of the Roman Empire and was only rediscovered in the 1600s. Calcined clay pozzolans can be used to replace a proportion (up to 30%) of the cement clinker and are produced at a lower temperature than clinker for ordinary portland cement OPC. This is a reduction of CO2 both in the process emissions of clinker calcination as well as the energy required for the kiln. This substitution alone is expected a reduction of 5-8% in total CO2 by 2050 and represents a 30% decrease in the carbon footprint of OPC.
