Global Cement & Concrete Association (GCCA) India released a report ‘Blended Cement – Green, Durable & Sustainable’ highlighting the advantages of different types of blended cement over Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
Cement contributes to about 7% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The utilization of blended cement becomes critical, as these types of cement are environment-friendly and more cost-effective to produce due to lesser input of clinker and energy.
I understand that the Indian construction segment has not been very receptive to the use of blended cement, instead of relying on the traditional mixing of supplementary material with the cement during construction.
