AFRICA GREEN CEMENT MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Green cement is a game-changing innovation in the building industry. It is a sustainable eco-friendly cement that can reduce the global carbon footprint of cement manufacturing. According to studies, typical cement manufacturing contributes to the world's carbon dioxide emissions, and this figure may be greatly reduced by the usage of green cement.

Green Cement is an environmentally friendly cement that is manufactured in a carbon-negative technique. The majority of the raw materials needed to make green cement are rejected industrial waste.The primary components used in the production of green cement are blast furnace slag and fly ash.

The utilization of sophisticated technologies results in a very energy-efficient production process.The amount of carbon dioxide released during this procedure is quite minimal. 

The construction industry has always sought better, stronger, and more long-lasting concrete. As a result, green cement appears to be the ideal answer. It is environmentally good since it uses industrial waste, minimizes carbon dioxide emissions, and takes less energy to produce.

Green cement, on the other hand, is extremely resilient and long-lasting. It exhibits high early strength, resilience, durability, fracture resistance, and low chloride permeability.

It has three to ftimes the corrosion resistance of regular cement.Green concrete has a higher tangibility than conventional cement, making it a viable alternative for large buildings. This is due to the fact that it is made up of calcined clay and limestone. These chemicals assist to minimize porosity and hence improve mechanical strength.

Green Cement is also easily hybridizable. Hybridization even encourages more lasting and sustainable building. This adds to green cement having a higher tensile strength than ordinary concrete.Green cement is created from industrial wastes such as slag and fly ash. This can contribute to resolving a key issue of industrial waste disposal, which contributes significantly to land contamination.

Because the raw materials utilized are largely waste items, the manufacturing costs are greatly reduced. It does not utilize any fossil fuels in its manufacture, which is both economical and environmentally good.Furthermore, cement made using fossil fuels necessitates a significant quantity of energy. However, the manufacture of green cement is technology-driven and takes relatively little energy.

Green cement is a product that is friendly to the environment and reduces the carbon footprint of cement manufacture.A variety of green cement kinds have been created after numerous attempts to develop green cements.The majority of these are based on technological developments, such as novel cement formulations, geopolymers, carbon-negative cements, and new concrete products, as well as energy-efficient, low carbon production techniques.

Additionally, the manufacture of green cement minimises the consumption of cement, and its primary raw materials include fly ash and blast furnace slag, two types of abandoned industrial waste.

Examples of green cement include Ekkomaxx cement, magnesium oxychloride cement, geopolymer cement, ferrocrete, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, and sequestrated carbon cement. However, some of these cements have not been widely employed in building projects while having great potential to be. Some of these compounds have been commercialised and used in various projects.

The cement manufacturing process can be appropriately changed to drastically reduce emission levels as a measure to reduce the risks brought on by emissions. A type of cement made using a carbon-negative manufacturing technique is known as green cement.

In other terms, green cement refers to cement that has undergone a technologically enhanced process and is the end result, minimising emissions during unit operations (such clinker manufacturing).

Green cement is a product that reduces the carbon footprint of cement manufacture and addresses severe environmental problems.Anything that is environmentally friendly or helps to make the environment greener is denoted by the term green preceding green cement. 

However, given the current environment, more knowledge about green cement and its potential is required. Investing in an innovative product or production method is frequently viewed by manufacturers and customers as a financially hazardous investment. Financial costs go grow as a result of significant changes in industrial setups. 

To address the needs of the construction industry, the national governments must encourage the manufacture of green cement. For adopting green cement manufacturing procedures, investors and manufacturing firms must be offered incentives. The hiring of home inspectors will assist in maintaining records of structures made of green cement, allowing for the certification of such structures and the payment of builders.

AFRICA GREEN CEMENT MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Africa Green Cement Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

Lafarge Africa Plc (a subsidiary of Holcim) has announced the debut of its Eco Label branding to assist in communicating the environmental benefits of its sustainable construction solutions and to expand on the company's net zero goal. According to the cement manufacturer, Eco Label represents a comprehensive range of green cements for excellent performance, sustainability, and circular building. 

Lafarge's UniCem brand, which accounts for the company's total volume, is now environmentally friendly. Products that have been recognised as eco-friendly have a carbon footprint that is  of the local industry benchmark. According to the business, the production of this eco-friendly cement allows Lafarge's end-users to choose greener choices and advance the country's carbon reduction journey in the manufacturing sector. 

Lafarge Africa is thrilled to be the Nigerian market's first indigenous cement maker of eco-friendly cement. They are speeding the move to more sustainable building materials for greener construction by launching this Eco brand.

Take pride in putting  net zero promise into action with a diverse range of green construction solutions. The Eco Label is a significant step forward in the journey, proving the organization's dedication to leading the way in sustainability and innovation.
