Pilot Demonstration of a Novel Low-Temperature Process for Sustainable SCM Manufacturing
FY 2025-26 · 2026-01-01
Summary
The construction sector faces urgent pressure to decarbonize concrete, one of the world’s largest sources of CO2 emissions. Low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can reduce Portland cement use by 30-40%, but limited supply and regional availability remain key barriers. EnviCore has developed a proprietary low-temperature mineral transformation process that converts abundant industrial residues and minerals into high-performance SCMs.
