(Aggregate Research 9-29-2010) Louisiana Tech University is developing geopolymer concrete, an innovative and environmentally friendly building material, with a life cycle greenhouse gas reduction potential - as much as 90 percent when compared with ordinary Portland cement.
Developed by Dr. Erez Allouche, research director for the TTC, and his team, geopolymer concrete utilizes “fly ash”, one of the most abundant industrial by-products, as a substitute for Portland cement, the most widely produced man-made material on earth.
