Supplementary Cementitious Material

Products Taxonomy

Reactive materials blended with clinker to make cement, lowering the clinker factor and with it the calcination CO2 per tonne of binder. Covers fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), calcined clay, and ground limestone.

Also known as: SCM, Clinker Substitute

Note

No dno-fnd-p:producedBySector is asserted. SCMs are by-products of other sectors — fly ash of dnt-fnd-sec:ElectricPower, GGBS of dnt-fnd-sec:SteelManufacturing — so declaring either would make a P:SCM filter reach those sectors’ Scope 1 and surface RECs and steel certificates against a material whose own footprint is grinding and drying.
