The project will help UK supply chains to manufacture and supply low carbon ready-mix concrete. To be more resource efficient through the mainstream use of calcined clays (CC), reducing the amount of CO2 through substituting Portland cement (PC, also known as CEMI) and the subsequent decarbonising of concrete. It will make UK supply chains more resilient ...

The UK produces around 11MT of scrap steel per annum. Around 2.6MT of this is used domestically to make higher performance steel products, whilst the remainder is exported in bulk, much of it for use in lower performance applications. However, the standard grades of recycled steel that are traded internationally do not meet the purity or value in use crit...

The project will deliver a novel commercial scale plant to dry pulverised fuel ash (PFA), a waste product, for use as a Secondary Cementitious Material in the construction sector. Coomtech's Surface Moisture Removal Technology (SMR) uses 25% of the energy used by industry standard, inefficient thermal driers, driving down CO2 emissions by up to 75%. Aggre...

This project aims to connect 2 major foundation industries, primary metal (aluminium) and cement production, yielding significant environmental, economic & resource efficiency benefits for both. The primary aluminium industry is large in scale with 65.296 million tonnes produced globally in 2020\. It creates a number of difficult waste streams including S...

Traditional site-based construction methods are a major negative contributory factor to the UK's housebuilding industry's famously low productivity and the sector is increasingly struggling to attract the skills it needs. Offsite construction in the housebuilding industry promises hugely improved productivity, performance and consistently high standards, ...
