The 'ACT' low carbon cement technology has been successfully tested in a residential development at Wembley Park, aiming to cut clinker content—responsible for high CO2 emissions—by incorporating fine limestone powder and recycled by-products like GGBS. Developed by Ecocem and implemented through a consortium including BRE Group, Capital Concrete, and others, this innovation can reduce embodied carbon in cement by as much as 70%.
Capital Concrete conducted initial material assessments in Cricklewood, ensuring workability and strength before the project execution. The successful demonstration at Wembley signifies a notable advancement towards decarbonization in the construction industry, which may encourage wider adoption of low-carbon technologies.
