Cemex UK Operations Limited

This proposal is led by Cemex and features organisations including Northumbrian Water, Galliford Try, Sika and the University of Manchester. Our project proposes an innovative approach to decarbonising concrete by integrating micronized limestone and graphene-based admixtures into the concrete mix, targeting the reduction of the carbon footprint associate...

All of the existing maritime shore power supply/charging infrastructure in the UK is either relatively small capacity and/or focused on meeting the needs of vessels drawing exclusively stable loads directly from the UK electrical distribution network. The primary objective of existing systems is to satisfy an immediate decarbonisation objective; with the ...

Shoreham Port, since inception in 1760 has operated as a Trust Port, returning all profits to improve the area for everyone. Today it is an established industrial cluster with 175 businesses based on the 110 acre estate. Large industrial partners include Barrett Steel Ltd, ArcelorMittal, Aggregate Industries, Tarmac a CRH Company, Cemex UK, Days Group Ltd...

The majority of currently existing maritime electrical supply/charging infrastructure in the UK is either relatively small scale and/or focused on meeting the needs of electrical consumers drawing relatively stable loads directly from the UK electrical distribution network, on a supply-on-demand basis. The primary objective of the above type of supply is ...

The rapid decommissioning of coal power plants in the UK has inadvertently created a supply chain crisis in the construction industry, as most cement and concrete producers use coal fly ash as a staple supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in cements. The lack of local SCMs from the coal power and steel industries has led to increased imports from mai...

Manufacturing processes for concretes using Portland cement (PC) are well established and account for 5-8% of global man-made CO2. End users of concrete products now demand low environmental impacts. However, reducing these impacts whilst still meeting user requirements (product performance and volume) remains a major challenge for the industry in the UK ...

RESCIND will harness the value in two continuously produced waste streams: Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA, ‘fly ash’) from coal-fired power stations and Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) from the production of cement to develop a low-carbon building product. CKD is a by-product of cement clinker production which generates significant disposal costs for the cement industry...

Concrete railway sleepers have high performance requirements but currently have a relatively high environmental impact. Performance requirements are currently met with concrete mixes using a high proportion of Portland cement, leading to a high embedded CO2 content (150,000 t/annum). Approximately 1 million sleepers are produced every year with a similar ...

The project proposes a collaborative research programme to test an innovative, algae based solution for the significant reduction of large scale industrial CO2 emissions. Represented within the project consortium is a large scale energy generators (SembCorp Utilities UK) and the process industries, including cement production (Cemex UK) and lime productio...

3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most significant geophysical imaging developments of recent years. Despite its suitability and the potential benefits it has not been applied to sand and gravel resources. The main barrier to take-up is the lack of an appropriate data processing and presentation system, to allow knowledge relevant t...
