On March 29, the "2024 13th China Cement Industry Summit Main Forum and TOP100 Award Ceremony" was held grandly. At the meeting, Wang Dongmin, Dean, Professor and Doctoral Tutor of the Institute of Concrete and Environmental Materials, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), made a keynote report on the research status and development path of low-carbon cement concrete for the next 100 years.
He said that there are many challenges in the development of the cement industry, such as the limited limestone resources and other raw materials, and the global environmental protection requirements for carbon emissions in the cement industry.
In this regard, Wang Dongmin put forward two technical approaches of low carbonization of cement, namely, improved type and subversive type. The improved type is low calcium cement clinker , characteristic cement, reducing clinker consumption, etc. The subversive type is alkali-activated/geopolymer cementitious materials, zero-calcium cement/cementitious materials.
