Low Emissions Intensity Lime and Cement (LEILAC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
LEILAC, Low Emissions Intensity Lime And Cement, will successfully pilot a breakthrough technology that will enable both Europe’s cement and lime industries to reduce their emissions dramatically while retaining, or even increasing, international competitiveness. LEILAC will develop, build and operate a 240 tonne per day pilot plant demonstrating Direct Separation calcining technology which will c ...

Development of insulating concrete systems based on novel low CO2 binders for a new family of eco-innovative, durable and standardized energy efficient envelope components (ECO-Binder)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Concrete is the most widely used man-made material on Earth, with an annual consumption of around 10 billion m³. However, its fabrication is characterized by total CO2 emissions amounting to around 5% of the worldwide anthropogenic GHG emissions. More sustainable cements with lower embodied energy and CO2 footprint are needed.As stated in the European Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings ( ...

CO2 capture from cement production (CEMCAP)
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
The European cement industry has committed itself to contributing to climate protection measures and therefore to curbing its CO2 emissions. CO2 capture technologies, although an essential part of all CO2 reduction scenarios, are not yet ready for large-scale deployment in the cement industry. Hence, the primary objective of CEMCAP isTo prepare the ground for large-scale implementation of CO2 capt ...

Advanced Technologies for the Production of Cement and Clean Aggregates from Construction and Demolition Waste (C2CA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
"The recycling of end-of-life concrete into new concrete is one of the most interesting options for reducing worldwide natural resources use and emissions associated with the building materials sector. The production of the cement used in concrete, for example, is responsible for at least 5% of worldwide CO2 emissions. On-site reuse of clean silica aggregate from old concrete saves natural resourc ...

Understanding Transport for Concrete which is Eco friendly iNnovative and Durable (TRANSCEND)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Cement is the primary binding phase of concrete. It is millennia old and ubiquitous worldwide. As a building material, it is unrivalled in terms of tonnage used, price per tonne, and CO2 production per tonne. Yet its very success means that cement production account for about 5% of global man-made CO2 emissions.The cement industry urgently requires more sustainable cement based products with equal ...
