Blended cements: The most efficient way to reduce CO₂ emissions produced by the cement industry is possibly the replacement of clinker with other substitutes. Blended cements have a long history in Greece, having been used widely for decades. Extensive research is currently undertaken by R&D on new blended cements in order to further reduce their clinker content.

In countries with little or no tradition in blended cements, it is sometimes necessary to change the industry’s perception that high clinker content means high quality cement. Still, we have managed to produce blended cements in FYROM with a 50% clinker replacement rate and slag cement in Egypt, although generally the markets are still oriented towards traditional types of cement. For road construction TITAN offers offer a hydraulic binder with a clinker content of only 25%.
