State Trading Organization (STO) introduces low-carbon cement; or “Green Cement” to the Maldivian construction market.<\/p>\n

The low-carbon cement is STO’s move towards introducing a more eco-friendly alternative in replacement of conventional cement products.<\/p>\n

According to STO, the “Green Cement” will effectively help in reducing environmental impact rising from the cement manufacturing and construction industries. The low-carbon concrete will reportedly have lower levels of hydration heat compared to conventional cement products.<\/p>\n

The company’s decision of replacing conventional cement with low-carbon concrete is reflective of its commitment towards promoting carbon neutrality.<\/p>\n

Moreover, STO confirms that the low-carbon cement is manufactured using recycled raw materials and use comparatively lower Carbon-dioxide content. As per STO, the “Green Cement” will reduce CO2 emissions between 10 to 15%.<\/p>\n

Low-carbon concrete was first developed by Denmark cement manufacturers in 1998 in their quest to seek eco-friendly options to reduce the carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

The eco-friendly cement uses comparatively less energy resources in its production process, while the usage of recycled raw materials do not reduce its quality. The Green Cement uses ground granulated blaster-furnace slag (GGBS) as replacement of conventional concrete ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
