Ambuja Cements, ACC, and IIT Delhi will work together as part of a research project financed by Holcim Innovation Centre, a French research organization. As a result of this collaboration, Indian and foreign consumers will be able to purchase low-CO2 cement that is 50% less polluting.
The collaboration between Ambuja Cements, ACC, and IIT Delhi will be implemented through a research project funded by Holcim Innovation Centre, France. It will comprise an in-depth scientific study into the influence of clinker, calcined clay, and limestone on the performance of calcined clay cement.
Ambuja Cements and ACC have partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D) to develop next-generation, calcined clay cement, a low carbon material, to promote sustainable construction.
This academic collaboration will be implemented through a research project funded by Holcim Innovation Centre, Lyon, France. It will comprise an in-depth scientific study into the influence of clinker, calcined clay, and limestone on the performance of calcined clay cement.
The partnership aims to create next-generation low CO2 cement with more than 50% lower carbon emissions for Indian and international consumers.
Both the companies have also previously partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) to study ‘Optimized use of Low CO2 binders with alternative reinforcements’ and the Indian Institute of Hyderabad (IITH) to develop’ Smart sensing technology for continuous on-site strength evaluation of a concrete structure’. These academic collaborations stem from the company’s vision to reimagine how the world is built to make it greener, more innovative, and more sustainable.
