Concerns Over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Boost Green Cement Demand, says Market.us

Cement is an important ingredient in construction. Although it has a high carbon footprint, cement is a strong adhesive and binding agent. The use of industrial byproducts, such as blast furnaces and slag, to make green cement is an alternative to traditional cement.

The main benefit of green cement is the significant reduction of carbon emissions. It is increasing its global demand. It is also used for the construction of structures, buildings, bridges, and dams. These are all part of sustainable architecture programs in different countries. Market growth is expected to be supported by strict environmental regulations, government tax reforms, and subsidies for green materials production.

According to a report by Market.us,” The Global Green Cement Market is projected to be USD 28.3 Billion in 2023 to reach USD 58.7 Billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 8.44%.”

The revolutionary green concrete product is changing the way we build. It is made of sustainable materials, such as silica fume, fly ash, and slag. This makes it an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional concrete.

Green concrete is stronger and more durable than ordinary cement. This makes it an excellent choice for large-scale construction projects. It is also an insulation material that helps reduce energy consumption. It can also be produced more quickly than traditional concrete, which makes it more affordable for both short-term and long-term projects.

Anurag Sharma, a senior research analyst at Market.us, said,” The widespread use of green cement in construction is evident in commercial, residential, and industrial settings. Both developed and emerging nations have enacted strict regulations that encourage green cement use and the construction of environmentally-friendly buildings. Market growth is also being driven by factors like rising urbanization, and high demand for infrastructures like theatres, shops, malls, and offices.”

Customers will be able to benefit from the performance and sustainability benefits of green concrete while still keeping costs competitive with traditional cement products. Rising concerns regarding the emission of greenhouse gases during cement production are a major reason for green cement’s rise.

Green cement reduces the cement industry’s carbon footprint by up to 40% and uses 60% less energy than Ordinary Portland Cement, which can reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG), emissions by up to 60% for every ton. Furthermore, decreases the heat island effect by increasing concrete reflectivity.

OPC has lower corrosion resistance. It is 3X to 4X more resistant. Some examples of green cement include magnesium oxychloride, calcium sulfoaluminate, geopolymer, sequestrated carbon, geopolymer, geopolymer, and ferrocrete. In order to improve product capabilities and properties, many companies involved in the cement sector are investing more in research and development.

Green cement is a product that has high resistance to chemicals, acids, and water. JSW cement was the first Indian Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC), business to enter in June 2021. To reduce carbon emissions and ensure sustainable construction practices, JSW cement will be using green cement. Products are certified by the Indian Green Building Council.

Rising demand from the residential industry. Green cement has seen a rise in demand due to rising building codes and policies requiring energy-efficient buildings. The new Canadian energy code, for instance, has mandated continuous below-grade insulation in residential coatings. India and other emerging economies are also seeing strong demand..

Due to increasing demand for sustainable products, and strict carbon emission regulations being enacted, there is a growing emphasis on zero-waste development. Stringent regulations by the US Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA), concerning GHG emissions in North America are increasing consumer demand for renewable energy sources.

Over the forecast period, the market for residential construction will grow due to growing awareness of the energy benefits of green homes among consumers in developed countries.
