Al Jouf Cement has approved the use of its green cement product, developed in collaboration with Asas Al-Muhailb Company, for NEOM projects.
The product is the result of Al Jouf Cement's extensive development efforts in collaboration with Asas Al-Muhailb, a high-quality ready-mix concrete manufacturer.
This program is in line with Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision and emphasizes the company's commitment to environmental conservation and innovation.
Green cement offers a 30% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, making it an environmentally friendly option.
It acts as an alternative to imported additional components such as Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Fly Ash, resulting in high quality concrete products.
The product is unique because of its high quality compared to other cement products.
The low heat of hydration of green cement makes it suitable for large concrete projects.
It greatly improves concrete performance in terms of durability, longevity, reduced water absorption, and reduced water penetration.
In addition, it is highly resistant to chloride and sulfate and chloride salts found in the soil.
The compressive strength of green cement is equal to or greater than that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC).
It also helps in heat dissipation and is fire resistant. In addition, using green cement reduces the need for ice to cool the concrete, which significantly lowers the cost of concrete.
The board of directors and management of Al Jouf Cement emphasize their responsibility to find sustainable solutions while supporting Vision 2030.
This program also aims to develop other scientific methods and solutions to differentiate the company within its sector.
