Redefining Cement for a Carbon-Constrained World

Our innovative approach eliminates traditional carbon-intensive processes while creating superior building materials.

The Problem with Portland Cement

Accounts for 8% of global CO₂ emissions

Depletes natural limestone reserves

Clinker production requires heating to 1450°C

Consumes enormous amounts of fossil fuels

Limited durability in harsh environments

Our Clinker-Free Solution

95% reduction in carbon emissions

Processes at ambient temperatures

Superior resistance to chemical attack

Utilizes fly ash and GBFS waste materials

Geopolymer technology creates stronger bonds

95% Carbon Reduction

NuGreen's innovative process eliminates the carbon-intensive clinker production phase, dramatically reducing emissions compared to traditional Portland cement.

Carbon Intensity

95% Reduction

Our Carbon Reduction Methodology

1

We source fly ash and ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) from industrial facilities that would otherwise send these materials to landfills.

Diverts 1.3 tons waste per ton cement

Waste Collection

2

Our proprietary organic plant based alkali-activation process creates strong aluminum-silicate bonds at ambient temperatures, eliminating the need for high-heat kilns.

Saves 900°C in processing temperature

Geopolymer Activation

3

Unlike traditional cement, our process avoids CO₂ emissions entirely by eliminating limestone calcination and high-temperature firing.

Prevents over 800 kg of CO₂ emissions per ton compared to OPC

CO₂ Avoidance

Carbon Verification

Life Cycle Assessment

Comprehensive cradle-to-gate LCA conducted by third-party verifiers following ISO 14040/14044 standards.

Projects using NuGreen cement can qualify for carbon credits on voluntary markets.

Carbon Credit Generation

Quality Certification

ASTM C618 Compliance

Meets or exceeds all requirements for fly ash in concrete applications.

Performance Testing

Rigorous testing for compressive strength, durability, and chemical resistance.

Environmental Product Declaration

Transparent EPDs documenting environmental impacts across the full product lifecycle.
