Buzzi Unicem has initiated the procedure for obtaining the technical evaluation certification for its CEM II/C-M Portland composite cements produced in the Trino, Vernasca, Settimello, Guidonia, Barletta and Augusta plants.
These are our new cements from the C-GREEN LINE, which will allow the company to improve the "green footprint" of its product line and achieve the objectives set forth in the 2030 Roadmap.
CEM II/C-M cements will also significantly help reduce CO2 emissions in concrete structures (up to 40% less CO2 per ton than CEM I cements), yet maintaining the equivalent technical performance as products with a higher clinker content. 
In the CEM II/C-M cements various components, including several with hydraulic activity, replace part of the clinker (between 50% and 64% by mass): granulated blast furnace slag ("S"), fly ash ("V"), pozzolan ("P") and limestone ("LL") are all main constituents of the recipe. 
CEM II/C-M cements can be produced in 32.5 N/R and 42.5 N/R strength classes for building interior and exterior structures in concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete in the most severe exposure classes with a compressive strength class of up to C40/50.
We believe that the CEM II/C-M cements will very quickly establish themselves as important offerings on the market, even becoming the “standard cement” in Italy by 2030. 
The building sector – and Buzzi Unicem, in particular – will take on the challenge of ecological transition by being able to: reduce specific CO2 emissions, focus our attention on the availability of resources; improve the efficiency of clinker and produce technologically advanced cements.
