As India’s cement industry grapples with decarbonisation challenges, Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) emerges as a promising solution for sustainable construction. With the sector contributing 6% of India’s fossil fuel and industrial CO2 emissions, there’s an urgent need for innovative, low-carbon alternatives.
Build Ahead presents this comprehensive paper examining LC3‘s adoption potential in India. The report explores the technical properties, environmental benefits, and market dynamics of LC3, which can achieve up to 40% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional cement.
Drawing insights from pilot projects and industry research, this paper analyses LC3‘s performance across various applications, from infrastructure to housing. It addresses key challenges in scaling adoption—from resource mapping to production infrastructure—while outlining actionable recommendations for stakeholders across the construction value chain.
This report aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable construction materials by providing evidence-based insights and a roadmap for LC3 adoption. The goal is to empower cement manufacturers, construction companies, and policymakers to make informed decisions that advance India’s journey toward net-zero emissions.
