Although it has a significant carbon footprint and is a powerful binding and adhesive agent, cement is a crucial component in the building sector. When compared to standard cement, Green Cement is more environmentally friendly because it is made from recycled industrial waste and industrial byproducts like fly ash and blast furnace slag. The main benefit of green cement is a large reduction in carbon emissions, which is increasing demand for it globally.
Additionally, it is employed in the construction of structural columns, buildings, bridges, and dams that are part of international initiatives for sustainable architecture. In comparison to OPC, Green Cement has a 3–4 times stronger corrosion resistance property. Some examples of green cement are magnesium oxychloride cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, ferrocrete, Ekkomaxx cement, geopolymer cement, and sequestrated carbon cement.
