Concrete is the most widely used man-made material in existence. It is second only to water as the most-consumed resource on the planet. But, while cement – the key ingredient in concrete – has shaped much of our built environment, it also has a massive carbon footprint. Cement is the source of 8% of the world’s CO2 emissions, according to think tank Chatham House.

Geopolymer Cement Ltd has the answer, a zero percent Portland cement made from bi products of power stations; The ash that is produced from the process of burning fuel to make electricity. The ash is then put into landfill and is classed as contaminated land.

Geopolymers utilise this waste and have created a cement/concrete which has up to a 93% reduction in carbon footprint to makes the longest lasting acid resistant, heat resistant concrete on earth. On a lifetime basis this is carbon negative and cost free due to its durability and life expectancy.
