LC3 Day, Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan, strategically located in the heart of Asia, is experiencing remarkable economic growth with GDP rising at 7–9% annually. As the country accelerates its infrastructure development under the pillars of renewable energy, e-mobility, and environmental preservation, the demand for building materials—particularly cement—is increasing rapidly. To meet this growing need sustainably, the local cement industry is actively exploring low-carbon alternatives.

Against this backdrop, the Institute of Renewable Energy Sources under the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan recently hosted an LC3 Day in Tashkent on 18 August 2026, bringing together key representatives from both the government and the cement industry. The event serves as a timely platform to discuss the potential of LC3 (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement) as a viable solution to support the nation’s construction boom while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

With strong interest and active engagement from all participants, we look forward to exciting developments ahead. The discussions and collaborations initiated during this LC3 Day are expected to pave the way for cleaner, more sustainable cement production in Uzbekistan, aligning with the country’s broader commitment to green growth and energy transition.
