This $2,500,694 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 (CFDA 81.086) program will fund research to advance low-carbon concrete binder commercialization. The project aims to reduce the carbon footprint of cement and concrete production by up to 50% through the development and testing of low-temperature calcined clays as alternatives to traditional Portland cement. Key objectives include researching ultrasonication processing to improve clay beneficiation, producing calcined clays at scale, investigating physical and chemical properties of the clays, testing concrete durability and mechanical properties with the calcined clays, and quantifying the carbon footprint. Lehigh University, the primary awardee, will lead this 1-year project starting in August 2024 to support DOE's goals of decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.
