Collaborative projects led to first-of-a-kind ultra-low carbon cement production facility in the UK

Description

Mevocrete: the journey of a collaborative research and development project leading to a deployed industrial-scale plant and private investment. The collaborative approach led by innovative SME Material Evolution has been creating circular approaches for the manufacture of innovative concrete.

Material Evolution, a start-up materials engineering company embarked on leading a cross-sector collaboration with Celsa Steel which was supported by the UKRI TFI  challenge, delivered by Innovate UK, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Economic and Social Research Council. The outcomes from this project led to formation of the Mevocrete consortium to scale-up the innovation for a TFI demonstrator funded project, where Material Evolution and Celsa Steel were joined by Enursan, Materials Processing Institute, LKAB, Nanomox, Teesside University and ZTL Contracting/Retaining UK/Geocast (Applebridge Group).
