First Graphene Limited, an Australia-based company focused on supplying graphene products, has entered a joint initial two-year development and commercialisation agreement with the UK’s largest cement manufacturer, Breedon Group.
The collaboration is set to take place at the Hope Cement Works, located within the Peak District National Park.
This agreement marks the commencement of an innovative initiative by First Graphene, aimed at creating a range of graphene-enhanced solutions with the focus on decreasing the clinker factor within Breedon’s cement products, and reducing carbon emissions.
Both companies have agreed to focus on enhancing the mechanical performance of Breedon’s CEM II Cement. The target is for this product which already boasts a lower clinker factor compared to CEM I, and also matches the compressive strength of CEM I.
