“…Alkali-activated binders have been widely discussed and promoted as a component of the current and future toolkit of 'sustainable cementing binder systems' [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These binders, sometimes also named 'geopolymers' [8], can be generated from a wide range of aluminosilicate precursors, with differing availability, reactivity, cost and value worldwide.…”

This paper, which forms part of the UNEP White Papers series on Eco-Efficient Cements, provides a brief discussion of the class of cementing materials known as 'alkali-activated binders', which are identified to have potential for utilization as a key component of a sustainable future global construction materials industry. These cements are not expected to offer a like-for-like replacement of Portland cement across its full range of applications, for reasons related to supply chain limitations, practical challenges in some modes of application, and the need for careful control of formulation and curing. However, when produced using locallyavailable raw materials, with well-formulated mix designs (including in particular consideration of the environmental footprint of the alkaline activator) and production under adequate levels of quality control, alkali-activated binders are potentially an important and cost-effective component of the future toolkit of sustainable construction materials.

“…This consumes huge amounts of energy, in particular, arising from the calcination of raw materials at around 1500 o C and the grinding of raw materials, cement clinker and gypsum [1]. The energy demand associated with Portland cement (PC) production is about 1700-1800 MJ/tonne clinker [2], which is the third largest use of energy, after that of the aluminium and steel manufacturing industries [3].…”
