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]
Natural pozzolana (volcanic ash) deposits situated in Southern California in the United States. Pozzolans are a broad class of siliceous and aluminous materials which, in themselves, possess little or no cementitious value but which will, in finely divided form and in the presence of water, react chemically with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2) at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing ...
Pozzolana from Mount Vesuvius volcano, Italy. Pozzolana or pozzuolana (/ ˌ p ɒ t s (w) ə ˈ l ɑː n ə / POT-s(w)ə-LAH-nə, Italian: [potts(w)oˈlaːna]), also known as pozzolanic ash (Latin: pulvis puteolanus), is a natural siliceous or siliceous-aluminous material which reacts with calcium hydroxide in the presence of water at room temperature (cf. pozzolanic reaction).
Note 1] Energetically modified cement's potential for contributing to a worldwide reduction of CO 2 has been externally recognised since 2002 and has been ongoing. [6] [7] [9] Recent recognition has included the 2019 Energy Transitions Commission (Lord Adair Turner and Lord Stern) report Mission Possible sectoral focus: cement (2019). [30]

"Ghacem" is same as "Ghana Cement", and does not have 97% market share anymore because Buipe plant has been built, and is not really a subsidiary of Scancem, because Scancem is owned by Heidelberg Cement, and has two plants in Ghana : one in Tema, which was upgraded in November 2012 from 1.2 million tons per year to 2.2 Mton/year, and one in ...
Mechanical evaluation of the pozzolanic activity is based upon a comparison of the compressive strength of mortar bars containing pozzolans as a partial replacement for Portland cement to reference mortar bars containing only Portland cement as binder. The mortar bars are prepared, cast, cured and tested following a detailed set of prescriptions.
