At the Geopolymer Camp 2009, July 1-3, at Saint-Quentin, France, Prof. Joseph Davidovits presented a keynote on “Practical Problems related to Mass Production of Geopolymer Cement”. What are the key issues and what are the dead ends? Are we ready and can we manufacture cements that reduce the CO2 emission by 60 up to 80%?

I want you to react to some biased arguments that are often opposed to the development of Geopolymer Concrete. In a recent blog published by the WORLDBANK, go to
http://psdblog.worldbank.org/psdblog/2008/09/the-cost-of-car.html
one can read the following comment to the article that favored Geopolymer concrete:
“Not really all that amazing.
The CO2 emissions from cement production (from calcination, ie, not from [...]

The 2-day and 3-day courses will be held at the Geopolymer Institute, Saint-Quentin, France (one and half hours drive North of Paris), with low-rates Hotels in the vicinity. The first series of courses start on April 01. [...]

Professor Joseph Davidovits is proud to announce the release of his book entitled: GEOPOLYMER CHEMISTRY AND APPLICATIONS with ca. 590 pages and 26 Chapters.
The photo shows the first printing for proof-reading. We expect to get the first exemplars printed for the end of February 2008. The first edition of the book will be sold [...]

Industrial Research has developed a process which will enable the fly ash waste material from burning coal at the Huntly Power Station to be used as a feedstock for making new geoploymer materials.
Geopolymers are being investigated as an alternative to traditional cement materials and for waste remediation of hazardous substances.
Previously the high calcium level of [...]
