The Institute of Cement & Concrete (ICC) at Meru University of Science & Technology (MUST) is changing the narrative of construction materials in Sub-Saharan Africa!
“Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3): Unlocking New Potentials for the Construction Industry” -This is the powerful keynote presentation that hit headlines at the 14th Africa Cementrade Summit in Accra, Ghana as delivered by Dr. Joseph Mwiti Marangu.
Dr. Joseph Mwiti Marangu is the Head of LC3-TRC AFRICA, the Director of the Institute of Cement & Concrete (ICC), and a senior researcher at Meru University of Science & Technology
ICC is a research and education institute focused on advancing scientific research, postgraduate training and community outreach in cement and concrete technologies, whereas LC3-TRC Africa is facilitating the adoption of LC3 technology in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
This insightful presentation has unlocked new, potential and sustainable construction practices that ought to be adopted by all nations across the African continent in their building codes in order to make every building a desirable mark of sustainability & resilience.
The ICC is pioneering environmental conservation through support on the uptake of low carbon cement such as the Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). LC3 cuts environmental CO2 emissions by up to 40%. This innovation also enhances resource efficiency and lowers production costs.
By promoting LC3, the Institute supports sustainable construction practices that minimizes environmental impact, conserves natural resources and fosters a greener, climate-resilient future for Kenya, Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. This aligns with the commitment to Support sustainable construction by minimizing environmental impact & promoting green infrastructure.
