There is no “One Size Fits All” Solution

We work with our utility partners to optimize a beneficiation solution to meet their needs. Where harvested ash does not require thermal beneficiation processing to produce specification-grade material for concrete applications, we offer customized solutions to recycle coal ash.

Join us this week as our industry-leading experts and thought-provoking voices take the stage with bold ideas, actionable insights, and compelling stories that spark connection and conversation. Each session brings fresh perspectives and real-world takeaways that are sure to leave you inspired, informed, and ready to chat.

Concrete Just Got Greener

Using innovative technology to increase the amount of limestone and decrease the amount of clinker, Heidelberg Materials has reduced both the energy required to produce EcoCem®PLC and associated emissions, making EcoCem®PLC the green alternative to ordinary cement with a smaller environmental footprint. Additionally, EcoCem®PLC can be used in concrete that will be exposed to moderate sulfate conditions.

EcoCem®PLC is a Portland Limestone Cement (Type GUL or Type IL) produced using ordinary portland clinker ground with limestone, and is available in bulk and bag. Compared to CSA Type GU and ASTM Type I-II/AASHTO Type I portland cement, EcoCem®PLC contains as much as 10% more limestone using the same components and yields – with equivalent performance to ordinary portland cement.

Turning Ash Into a Valuable Resource

Coal ash is encapsulated for beneficial use as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete or other industrial products. It improves the durability of concrete and prolongs the lifecycle of our roads, buildings, bridges, and other important structures.
