For the CSC assessment, the CO₂ emissions of a conventional reference concrete are used as the benchmark. Depending on the level of CO₂ savings achieved, the concrete is classified into sustainability levels 1 to 4. To attain the highest rating, Level 4, a CO₂ reduction of at least 60% is required – a threshold that EFC demonstrably exceeds.

This combination of regulatory approval and sustainability performance enables EFC to be used in highly demanding applications, such as those falling under Exposure Class XA3. In general, EFC is suitable for almost all conventional concrete applications, ranging from semi-dry to flowable precast concrete elements (F5 consistency), as well as for use as ready-mixed concrete.

CO₂-reduced concrete

EFC is a concrete that is produced entirely without cement. Instead, alternative binders are used that do not react with water on their own. Special activators developed by MC-Bauchemie allow  to work in the same way as conventional cement.

By eliminating cement from the mix, the CO₂ emissions associated with concrete production can be reduced by up to 75%. At the same time, the concrete exhibits improved chemical resistance, making it particularly durable and long-lasting.
