To assess CO₂ savings in concrete, industry benchmarks are used as comparative values. For strength class C50/60, assuming concrete made from pure Portland cement, the value of 325 kg CO₂/m³ can be used as a benchmark. The value of 122 kg CO₂/m³, confirmed by the EPD as A1-A3, therefore represents a potential CO₂ saving of approximately 62 per cent. Thanks to this combination of approval and sustainability, EFC can now also be used in very demanding applications, such as in exposure class XA3. In principle, EFC is suitable for almost all standard concrete applications: from earth-moist to flowable (F5 consistency) precast elements, 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.
