This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) provides $6,065,126 in funding to Ash Grove Cement Co Inc. to evaluate dredged sediment from several U.S. Army Corps of Engineers confined disposal facilities. The project, titled "PROJECT REDRESS", will develop a feedstock criteria and treatment protocol to integrate the treated sediment (calcined clay) as a feedstock for new cementitious binder production. The goal is to incorporate the treated sediment into low clinker factor cement manufacturing for ready-mix concrete operations, supporting efforts to decarbonize the cement industry. The project will be conducted in collaboration with academic research partners and the Army ERDC, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
