CSA cement uses less energy and produces less CO²

Manufacturing calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement uses less energy and produces less carbon dioxide than conventional Portland cement, according to a recent BRE research programme.

It shows that CSA cements blended with materials such as ground granulated blastfurnace slag and anhydrite, and belite-CSA cements with a higher iron content, can be used to produce durable concrete with physical properties comparable to equivalent Portland cement concrete.
