The institute in the 1990s begun researching into Pozzolana cement, an alternative cement to the Portland cement for building. [5] Pozzolana cement cost less than Portland cement. In May, 2007, BRRI and PMC Global Incorporated of America signed a contract for the commercial production of Pozzolana. [5]
It started production in 2002 with annual production of 700,000 tonnes of cement and was inaugurated by former President John Kufuor of Ghana in 2004. [1]The company in February 2014, completed a 2.5 km rail siding connecting it to the Togo Railway network, giving access to the port of Lomé, Togo, for easy delivering of clinker for cement production.

Compared to using Portland cement, the resulting concrete-mix using EMC does not require a higher "total cementitious content" to meet strength-development requirements. In testing by BASF , the 28-day strength-development for 55% replacement of Portland cement by a natural pozzolanic EMC was 14,000 psi / 96.5 MPa (i.e. > C95).
