Regulatory News:
Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker:
ALHGR) carried out the first pouring of 0% clinker decarbonated
clay concrete (H-EVA) on a construction site, thus completing two
years of joint R&D with Bouygues Construction and Chryso as
part of their partnership.
For the past two years, the research and development teams of
the three companies have been working closely together to carry out
specific technical tests to develop low-carbon concrete made from
H-EVA cement. Unique and innovative, H-EVA cement has a formulation
that does not contain a single gram of clinker and a carbon
footprint that is four times smaller than that of traditional
cement. This cement is based on an alkaline-based activated clay
technology developed by Hoffmann Green and is available as a powder
that can be stored in silos and is perfectly compatible with
existing manufacturing processes. With a mechanical strength of up
to 60 Megapascal at 28 days, its strong technical performance means
that it can be used for all types of concrete applications in
buildings and on roads.
Today, this partnership is gaining momentum and is leading to
the launch of a first successful application on a building site,
paving the way for future projects using H-EVA 0% clinker
concrete.
With the launch of this H-EVA clay concrete on a large scale,
Hoffmann Green is further diversifying its supply of co-products,
which, as a reminder, is divided between clay (H-EVA), blast
furnace slag (H-UKR and H-IONA), gypsum/desulfogypsum (H-P2A) and
calcium sulfate (H-IONA).
Julien BLANCHARD and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann
Green Cement Technologies, said: "The launch of the first
projects using 0% clinker decarbonated clay concrete H-EVA is the
result of close collaboration with the Bouygues Construction and
Chryso teams, to whom we would like to extend our warmest thanks.
Developed with long-standing and well-known companies in the
construction sector and with unique technical and environmental
characteristics, this new clay concrete will enable us to diversify
our supplies of co-products and address more markets in favour of
the decarbonisation of the construction sector.”
Christian Cremona, Bouygues Construction's Materials and
Structures R&D Director, explains: "We are using materials
with an ever-lower impact. Our partnership with Hoffmann Green
Cement Technologies is part of the group's answer to the major
challenges of construction by controlling our impact on the
environment.”
Bruno Pellerin, Chryso's R&D Director, adds: “At the
heart of the H-EVA technology, clay is a material that is available
almost everywhere in large quantities which advantages can be fully
drawn thanks to very specific admixtures. Our range of admixtures
CHRYSO®EnviroMix, and in this case EnviroMix ULC for ''Ultra Low
Carbon'', has been developed to meet the requirements of low or
very low carbon concrete. Through sustained investment in R&D
over many years, we are committed to supporting our customers and
partners in reducing the carbon footprint of their business. This
partnership illustrates the key role of innovation in providing
credible solutions to the new challenges facing the construction
sector.”
