Lecture
Introduction to LC³: Sustainable Cement Production
Description
This lecture introduces LC³, a sustainable cement production technology that aims to reduce CO₂ emissions by replacing part of the cement clinker with supplementary cementitious materials. The LC³ project, involving partners from Switzerland, Cuba, and India, has the potential to significantly lower worldwide CO₂ emissions. The lecture covers the composition of LC³, its environmental benefits, and the process of making LC³, including assessing kaolinite content and activation temperature. Full-scale trials in Cuba and India demonstrate the practical application of LC³ technology, highlighting its potential impact on the construction industry.
