Green cement is a broad term. I want to know if they are using calcined clay, slag, or some other pozzolan to drop the clinker ratio. Without the specific tech, it is hard to tell if this is a real leap or just a marginal improvement.
Agreed. The real question is whether this project is chasing specific government procurement mandates for green materials or if they are betting on a voluntary carbon market premium.
250 crore is a modest start for a cement plant. I wonder about the power source for the facility. If they are claiming green cement but pulling from a coal heavy grid, the net emissions benefit drops significantly.
Navrattan Group is putting 250 crore into a new plant in Rajpura to make low carbon cement. It is a move toward sustainable building materials in Punjab, though the specific tech remains vague.
