UK concrete and cement manufacturing currently accounts for 7.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, equating to 1.5% of the country's total carbon emissions. The harmonised European cement standard EN 197-5, was published in January 2022 and allowed cements with up to 65 per cent of the Portland cement clinker to be substituted by two or more SCMs, so providing multi-component equivalents to the binary combinations that have become well established in the UK.
A new standard was published by BSI on 30th November 2023, entitled: BS 8500-1:2023 Concrete. Complementary British Standard to BS EN 206 - Method of specifying and guidance for the specifier and BS 8500-2:2023 Concrete. Complementary British Standard to BS EN 206 - Specification for constituent materials and concrete were published. This change to the standard increases the range of lower carbon concretes that can be specified.
This new standard introduces the use of lower carbon ternary (or multi-component) cements, CEM II/C-M and CEM VI, with use of limestone and calcined clay. These changes and some of their implications will be explored in a series of technical presentations, the afternoon concluding with a panel discussion by industry representatives.
