Cement + carbon sand = carbon-neutral concrete

Formula Zero – the cement industry’s new formula for decarbonisation:

Cement + carbon sand = carbon-neutral concrete.

Formula Zero is our strategy for reducing CO₂ emissions from cement and concrete to zero.

How does it work? Our carbon-negative CARBOSANDS Carbon Sand is designed to replace sand in concrete. This enables the cement industry to offer carbon-neutral concrete with its existing cement products.

In the next step, no more CO₂ is emitted at all: Our CARBOSANDS Carbon Sand can even be produced from the captured CO₂ of the cement production itself. In this way, the cement industry can avoid the expensive transportation and underground storage of CO₂ and at the same time market a combined product of cement and sand for defined qualities of carbon-neutral concrete.
