Geo-Blue Crete - Reducing Carbon-dioxide Footprint

Portland cement is the most common type of cement used worldwide and is the biggest target for reducing the CO₂ footprint of building materials. According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, cement manufacturing is alone responsible for 5% of global CO₂ emissions. To make cement, manufacturers heat limestone in a kiln to 2,650 °F. The process eliminates chemically bound water molecules, releases CO₂, and produces a marble-sized material called clinker, which is then ground to a fine powder. Gypsum is added, and the resulting cement is mixed with water, sand, and aggregates to produce concrete. The rehydration causes an exothermic chemical reaction that hardens the mix.

Builders all over the world have recently become aware of the significant carbon footprint of their most basic building supplies. Experts estimate that the manufacture of traditional
building materials is responsible for 10–12% of carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S., mainly because of the large amount of energy used to create them.

Geo-Blue Crete uses many of the same materials used in blends with traditional Portland cement. However, the major difference comes from the fact that Geo-Blue Crete isn’t produced with quarried limestone product. Limestone creates an excessive amount of CO2 by virtue of the fact that extreme heat is used to create the cement. Geo-Blue Crete uses a proprietary catalyst/binding agent that can allow the cement to be produced at ambient temperatures, from sub-tropical to below freezing, meaning that it takes 80 to 90% less energy to produce and dramatically lowers the CO2 released into the atmosphere.

Geo-Blue Crete is not only environment-friendly and effectively reduces the carbon footprint but is also stronger, sustainable and affordable as compared to the traditional Portland Cement

Rain Water Harvesting

Demand for water is growing in most cities as every urban citizen requires almost double the amount of water than a rural citizen. Moreover, India is rapidly urbanizing. Urban population in India has grown almost five times in five decades from (62.44 million) in 1951 to (286.08) in 2001. Not long ago, most of our cities were self-sufficient in meeting their water needs from the extensive urban water bodies to supply water to citizens. Today these water bodies have completely disappeared. Municipalities have been stretched to their limits to find water for the growing urban populations. Groundwater is being extracted by the government as well as the private parties. The term rainwater harvesting is being frequently used these days, however, the concept of water harvesting is not new for India. Water harvesting techniques had been evolved and developed centuries ago. System of collecting rainwater and conserving for future needs has traditionally been practiced in India....

Blue Crete Cement - Innovative Cement Technology

After years of research scientists have invented a new type of cement that is a cross breed of Geo-Polymer and Nano-Ceramic cement. Geo-Blue Crete is a complete low carbon alternative that looks, acts and works like Portland cement but has three times the compression and tensile strengths of Portland cement. It can be distributed in the same way, with the same equipment, at a low manufacturing cost. This new age cement is a one-part system that only requires a simple paddle mixing of its powdered chemical formula at ambient temperatures. The manufacturing process is not dependent on fossil fuels or large kilns. However, it's delivery system remains the same as OPC and the product itself results in a high-performance concrete at 6000 psi and over. It is water retardant, acid retardant, discourages the oxidation of rebar, and has a near-zero coefficient of expansion, which makes it excellent in below-freezing temperatures as well as in tropical regions. It does not trans...
