It is hoped that placing both steps of the offsite concrete manufacturing process together will reduce transport requirements and ultimately reduce the carbon footprint of the end product.<\/p>\n<p>Material Evolution raised the facility through a \u00a315m Series A funding round last year and completed the build on schedule after just eight months of construction work.<\/p>\n<h3>What makes the cement ultra-low carbon?<\/h3>\n<p>The factory does not use heat or kilns to combine the cement ingredients- reducing the traditional production process, which contributes a vast amount of carbon to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The cement industry currently contributes about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2024\/09\/cement-production-sustainable-concrete-co2-emissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 8% of global carbon emissions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.org.uk\/news-views-insights\/media-centre\/press-releases-list\/construction-sector-could-more-than-halve-emissions-from-concrete-by-2035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.5% of emissions in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the production facility relies on Material Evolution&#8217;s patented alkali-fusion process to produce cement capable of undergoing geopolymerisation.<\/p>\n<p>The facility can produce 120,000 tonnes of Material Evolution&#8217;s pioneering MevoCem product per year, which can reduce emissions by up to 85% compared to ordinary Portland cement.<\/p>\n<p>The ultra-low carbon cement production facility is now operating on an industrial scale, making it the UK\u2019s biggest producer of ultra-low carbon cement.<\/p>\n<h3>Lean and modular construction design have further reduced the factory\u2019s carbon footprint<\/h3>\n<p>The design of the 120-square-metre plant was influenced by lean manufacturing techniques. Modern material handling processes allow materials to be transported around the site, reducing the factory\u2019s carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146629\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146629 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Material-Evolution-team-outside-the-plant-scaled.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Material Evolution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The facility&#8217;s modular design will also easily adapt to new and developing technologies, ensuring the site\u2019s longevity.<\/p>\n<h3>Making industrial ultra-low carbon cement a reality<\/h3>\n<p>Founded in 2020 by Dr Liz Gilligan and Sam Clark, Material Evolution aims to help revolutionise the \u00a3500bn concrete industry.
