Sandia has longstanding experience developing and testing cements, supplemental cementitious materials, and low-cost, low-carbon heating technologies. Our capabilities span modeling, testing, characterization, monitoring, and life-cycle assessments for traditional Portland cement as well as alternative low-carbon compositions.
Focus Areas
- Development and testing of new low-carbon cement formulations
- Large-scale materials testing and in-situ monitoring
- High-temperature process-heat system design and system-level modeling
- Multi-scale material modeling and prediction of material stability
Key Capabilities
- Testing for a wide variety of cement properties and service conditions
- Materials characterization for small- and large-scale samples
- Molecular-scale, thermodynamic, and reactive transport modeling
- Technoeconomic analysis and life-cycle assessment for cement
Sandia is helping to accelerate the adoption of novel low-carbon cements and associated technologies. We bring expertise in test-method development, modeling, data collection, monitoring, and carbon accounting.
