GREEN MANUFACTURING-
Al Jouf’s Green Cement approved for Neom: Saudi Al Jouf Cement Company ’s new green cement product has been approved for use in Neom projects, according to a Tadawul disclosure posted on Saturday. Developed in partnership with Asas Al-Muhailb Company, the green cement reduces carbon emissions by 30% and is an alternative to imported supplementary components like Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Fly Ash.
The details: The green cement offers high-quality concrete with improved durability, lower water absorption, and resistance to chloride and sulfate salts. It has a lower heat of hydration, making it ideal for large-scale concrete works. It also enhances concrete’s compressive strength, helps with heat insulation, and lowers cooling costs by reducing the need for ice.
