The main cause associated with cement production today is linked to the production process for <strong>clinker<\/strong>, an essential component of cement. To obtain clinker, limestone and clay are heated to a very high temperature (around 1400\u00b0C) in a cement kiln or calciner. However, during the heating process, the clinker releases <strong>carbon dioxide<\/strong>, so that to produce one ton of cement, the firing stage alone generates almost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geo.fr\/environnement\/le-beton-ciment-troisieme-pays-des-emissions-de-gaz-a-effet-de-serre-206744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one ton of C0<sub>2<\/sub><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how to reduce the use of clinker to obtain a concrete that performs just as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatives are being standardized to replace traditional concrete. For example, <strong>low-carbon concrete <\/strong>contains less clinker, some of which is replaced by limestone, calcined clay or fly ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can graphene help decarbonize tomorrow&#8217;s construction industry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned above, the use of innovative, less polluting materials is essential if France is to reach the thresholds set by public policy. Indeed, this is what the sector&#8217;s roadmap states: &#8220;<em>the increased use of low-carbon components that are not today&#8217;s standards (innovative and low-carbon products) [&#8230;], appears to be an essential lever for achieving the objective of <strong>decarbonizing <\/strong>the building industry<\/em>&#8220;.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbon-waters.com\/en\/applications\/\">Graphene<\/a><\/strong>, a material discovered just 20 years ago with a wide range of properties, can also replace part of the clinker used in buildings, thereby reducing CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating graphene into <strong>concrete <\/strong>would mean using less material, while offering <strong>similar or even better performance<\/strong> than traditional concrete.
