UK: The Materials Processing Institute (MPI) is preparing to open its Sustainable Cement and Concrete Centre (SCCC) later in February 2025. The centre will focus on research and material development, including novel formulations for low-carbon cement and concrete and the use of electric arc furnace (EAF) slags in aggregates and clinker production. It will also provide consultancy services to further support clients to accelerate innovation, offering expertise and project management from concept through to pilot stage production.

The SCCC is a part of the EconoMISER programme, led by the Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium (FISC), which aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of the UK’s so-called foundation industries. These include the cement, metal, glass, ceramic, paper, polymer and chemical sectors. The MPI is based in Middlesborough.
