In 2018, 7.3Mt of CO2 emissions were attributable to the UK concrete and cement sector; 4.4Mt of which were from clinker production. Researchers at the UoC have invented a new process of clinker production which has the potential to eliminate these emissions and enable the production of zero emission cement. The vision of Cement 2 Zero (C2Z) is to demonst...

Concrete's main carbon emitter is Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) which equates to around 5% of the world's CO2 emissions. In 2019, production plants in Britain produced over 9million tonnes of cement, equating to over 700million tonnes of CO2 (Barcelo, 2020). There is a clear need to radically and radically decarbonise the foundation industries. This proj...

Concrete is the second most used substance in the world after water, largely due to its low cost, abundance, and reliability in a wide variety of environments. While concrete has been a building block of society dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, current production and utilization methods pose significant energy and emissions challe...

Each year in the UK, approximately there are 48 TWh/yr industrial waste heat sources which is equivalent to one sixth of overall industrial energy use. Of this amount of industrial waste heat, technically 11TWh/yr (2.2 MtCO2/yr) could be potentially recovered for useful purposes such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) through specially designed energy conve...

The proposed is a research and development project that aims to bring multiple stakeholders within the Foundation Industry South Wales Region together to analyze material and energy flows and identify potential opportunities for collaboration. Funding will support an industrial circular economy vision that will open new opportunities for improved energy a...
