"Turning cement from a climate risk into the opposite"
Profile

We focus on research projects in the field of cement hydration, alternative cementitious materials, and thermodynamic data.

We are pioneering efficient use of resources and waste materials, as well as development of alternative, low-carbon binders. Our cutting-edge laboratory facilities support both our research projects and our services to the industry.
