Al-Jouf Cement Announces NEOM Projects’ Adoption of New “Green Cement” Product

Al-Jouf Cement Company has announced the approval of its innovative product, Green Cement, for use in NEOM projects. This milestone is the result of collaborative development with Asas Al-Muhailb Company, a leader in high-quality ready-mix concrete production.

Key Features of Green Cement:

1. Environmental Benefits: Reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 30%, aligning with sustainable construction goals.
2. Substitute for Imported Materials: Serves as a superior alternative to imported components like Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Fly Ash, ensuring high-quality concrete.
3. Low Heat of Hydration: Ideal for large-scale concrete works, enhancing concrete performance and minimizing cracking risks.
4. Enhanced Performance: Improves durability, longevity, and resistance to water absorption and permeability, offering high resistance to chloride penetration.
5. Resistance to Salts: Provides excellent resistance to sulfate and chloride salts found in soil, ensuring structural integrity.
6. Compressive Strength: Matches or surpasses the strength of ordinary Portland cement (OPC).
7. Heat Insulation and Fire Resistance: Enhances heat insulation properties and provides fire resistance for added safety.
8. Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for ice in concrete cooling, leading to significant cost savings in large-scale construction.
