Jul 21, 2022Portland cement is made out of limestone, which must be quarried in large quantities and then burned at very high temperatures. Extracting limestone from large quarries with all of the infrastructures that must accompany them is environmentally costly - in terms of land use changes, material use and wastage, and energy requirements.

History of cement. The origin of hydraulic cements goes back to ancient Greece and Rome.The materials used were lime and a volcanic ash that slowly reacted with it in the presence of water to form a hard mass. This formed the cementing material of the Roman mortars and concretes of more than 2,000 years ago and of subsequent construction work in western Europe.
