- Univ. of Kentucky, Lexington, KY (United States)
This award allowed the University of Kentucky to demonstrate a number of key objectives. The focus of the project was on creating a belite cement, and concrete, that demonstrated a greatly reduced CO2 demand for manufacture and enabling the development of extremely durable concrete. The accomplishments of the developed technology includes the following, as compared to Ordinary Portland cement: 2x greater compressive strength; 10x greater corrosion resistance; 35 – 50% less estimated clinker and mill energy use; 15 – 20% less estimated cement manufacturing cost; 35% more estimated clinker capacity; 25 – 30% less estimated cement CO2 footprint.
