​Recent use of graphene-enhanced cement in a project between GEIC, CEMEX UK, Galliford Try, Sika, and Northumbrian Water 

According to reports, a novel concrete formulation, CoMLaG, developed through collaboration between the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC), Cemex UK, Galliford Try, Sika, and Northumbrian Water, was recently laid on site, delivering a major milestone in efforts to decarbonize construction materials.

The project culminated in the successful pour of 15m³ of graphene and micronized lime-enhanced concrete at a Northumbrian Water wastewater treatment facility. This mix achieved up to 49% reduction in CO₂ emissions per cubic meter compared to traditional CEM I concrete, while maintaining comparable compressive strength performance.
