AktivPuzzolan - reduction of the CO2 emission for cements

Research project at a glance

The aim of this project is make use of clinker reduced Portland cements in order to reduce the energy input during production and therfore also the CO2 emission. This is realised via a syergetic activation of puzzolans. Using the metacaolin Metaver could reduce the Portland cement input by 25% without a considerable reduction of the resulting bending tensile strength. Only the compressive strength lowered about 10 - 15%. Conducting Life-Cycle-Assesments already during the project made it possible to take an immediate impact on the costs and the Global Warming Potential (GWP).
