Remind Wallonia

This is broken down into 7 projects in 4 priority areas:

• Axis 1 concerns materials for renovation or sustainable construction (with a low-energy component via thermal insulation properties) that give priority to secondary materials and limit or avoid the use of hydraulic binders (substitution by chemical binders based on polycondensation reactions);

• Axis 2 concerns the manufacture of high-performance concretes for the building and offshore sectors, which are also characterised by optimised use of secondary materials and partial substitution of commercial binders by alternative binders (pozzolanic and latent hydraulic additions).

• Axis 3 involves alternative binders replace all or part of traditional cement with materials that have a lower carbon footprint, like fly ash, blast furnace slag, or geopolymers, helping to decarbonize the cement industry.

• Axis 4 involves carbonated circular materials play a role in capturing and storing CO2, while turning by-products (waste) into new innovative materials.
