Finland: Betolar has procured a patent for a new accelerator solution for use in CEM III/B slag cement mixes. The company says that the product enables the achievement of conventional demoulding times in the production of concrete elements using slag cement with a clinker content of 20 – 34%. It will also enable its use in hollow-core slabs and as shotcrete in the mining industry.

President and CEO Tuija Kalpala said "Our patented innovation paves the way for the large-scale use of cement mixtures in the production of concrete elements and products, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions."

UK: Concrene Limited has obtained a US patent for its Graphene Reinforced Concrete technology. The technology uses graphene dispersed in water to create a uniform distribution of graphene particles in concrete. Graphene increases the strength of concrete, enabling less cement to be used in its production.

Concrene Limited invited interested US stakeholders to discuss opportunities for commercial partnerships.
