LC3 Day, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
2025-12-04 08:30 - 15:00 | Hilton Addis Ababa, Hilton Addis Ababa, Menelik II Avenue, Addis Ababa, P.O.Box 1164, Ethiopia
This LC3 information day offers a platform to align Ethiopia’s urban development with its climate ambitions through sustainable, low-carbon materials. It aims to spark collaboration and chart practical steps for the adoption of LC3 technology in the region.
Hosted by the LC3 initiative, under Professor Karen Scrivener and her research team, this event will gather Ethiopia’s key stakeholders – government officials, academics, and cement producers – to explore the potential of LC3, an innovative supplementary cementitious material (SCM) enabling low-carbon, high-performance construction.
Ethiopia, one of Africa’s fastest-urbanizing nations, faces rising demand for housing and infrastructure alongside a strong climate commitment. Under its Climate-Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) strategy and updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the government targets a 64% emission reduction by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual scenario. The cement sector is recognized as a key decarbonization lever, where replacing clinker with SCMs like LC3 could save millions of tonnes of CO₂.
Highlights

Keynotes by Prof. Scrivener and the LC3 team on LC3’s performance, applications, economic feasibility and standards.
Local perspectives from policymakers and industry leaders on infrastructure needs, material policy, and LC3 implementation pathways.
Dialogue on integrating LC3 within Ethiopia’s construction sector and advancing green-growth goals.

ICCCSC 2026, Cape Town
2026-02-04 - 2026-02-06 | Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town, Breakwater Campus, Cape Town, South Africa
Improving the sustainability profile of cement and concrete has become a decisive focus for fostering socially responsible development. Consequently, reducing the carbon footprint of concrete has gained increasing and widespread attention in research, development and industry.

The use of calcined clay in concrete production continues to gain momentum internationally and is widely considered the most promising solution for reducing the clinker content in concrete, consequently minimizing its carbon emissions and promoting sustainable construction. The timely International Conference on Calcined Clay for Sustainable Concrete (ICCCSC) was held in Switzerland (2015), Cuba, (2017), India (2019) and China (2024), serving as a key platform for discussing developments and application of low-carbon, sustainable cement technologies.
The 5th ICCCSC will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, covering topics related to low-carbon cement production, performance evaluation, application opportunities, case studies, latest research and development in LC2 and LC3 technology, and environmental efficiency. The focus will be on sustainable concrete technology and application, addressing production and quality control, fresh and hardened concrete properties, service life modelling, current and future developments, practical applications, and more.

We hope to bring together researchers, practicing engineers, cement producers, infrastructure managers, concrete technologists, students, and the supporting industry from around the world to share knowledge and experience on current developments in sustainable cement and concrete technology, and to identify future trends, application potential and further research required to support sustainability in the construction industry of the future.
The venue will be the Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town situated in the heart of Africa’s most popular tourist destination, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town. The city of Cape Town and its surroundings are widely considered among the most beautiful places on the planet and the organizers of ICCCSC are looking forward to welcoming their guests to a vibrant, colourful and cosmopolitan environment.
