Cement as a pillar to producing eco-friendly concrete
With only 12-17% of the mass, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) accounts for more than 95% of the embodied CO2 of traditional concrete.
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) accounts for 0.9 kg CO2 per kg of cement.* 60-65% of the CO2 comes during decarbonation of limestone.
Replacing OPC with greener cements requiring less limestone decarbonation and less energy to produce is the biggest opportunity for making significant change in concrete. This is what we've done with our flagship Bonhomie Cement.

Greener mixing technology as a pillar to producing eco-friendly concrete
Eco-friendly cements demand different mixing technology to account for their unique setting times.
Greener mixing technology is the key to green cement use and, therefore, greener concrete.
With Omni-Mixing Technology, unprecedented live sampling rates are compared to the desired recipe 1000’s of times per cubic meter and adjustments are made to ensure industries demands for modern concrete with complex formulas are met.
High performing concrete producers as a pillar to producing eco-friendly concrete
Bonhomie Cement Inc. locations have never had a rejected load of concrete in 10 years of operations and have an unparalleled 100% success rate on all third-party testing for 10 consecutive years (including all slump, air, and compression cylinders).
