Cement The plant will produce Terra's OPUS SCMTM (supplementary cementitious material), a high-performance cement extender expected to displace 40-50% of Portland cement (the most common type of cement) when blended.
Key Points:
- The plant will produce Terra's OPUS SCMTM (supplementary cementitious material), a high-performance cement extender expected to displace 40-50% of Portland cement (the most common type of cement) when blended.
- As the construction industry faces increasing regulatory pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, Terra's OPUS SCM offers a solution that addresses environmental concerns and broader industry needs.
- Terra's solution extends the life and enhances the ROI of established cement plants while meeting the growing demand for cement.
- Terra is currently testing OPUS ZEROTM, a complete cement replacement that can reduce greenhouse emissions related to concrete production to zero.

Cement OPUS products can be manufactured locally in large quantities, minimizing transportation costs and allowing reliable supply with strict quality control.
Key Points:
- OPUS products can be manufactured locally in large quantities, minimizing transportation costs and allowing reliable supply with strict quality control.
- We’re thankful to CleanTech Breakthrough for acknowledging our work to make low-carbon cement the industry standard.
- This can be improved by utilizing SCMs, however, the supply of high-quality SCMs is insufficient and continues to decline,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of CleanTech Breakthrough Awards.
- The future of sustainable cement is here, and Terra, our ‘Decarbonization Solution of the Year’ winner is leading the way.”
