India's NOIDA International Airport has become the first large-scale infrastructure project in the country to use low-carbon LC3 cement. The technology, developed at EPFL in Switzerland, reduces CO2 emissions from cement production by replacing a portion of clinker with calcined clay and limestone. NDTV's report includes an interview with Professor Karen Scrivener, the lead researcher behind the innovation. This deployment marks a real-world test for low-carbon cement in a high-demand construction environment. If successful, it could open the door for wider adoption across Indian infrastructure, which is one of the world's largest cement consumers. The project demonstrates that low-carbon materials can move from lab to field at scale, which matters for anyone tracking industrial decarbonization.
