This proposal addresses directly an enhancement of the efficiency, export potential and energy utilization of the UK concrete industry, as cement is the second most used substance on the planet after water and the manufacturing process produces large amounts of CO2 per year. The proposed technology will enable concrete manufacturers to increase the quantities of low carbon cement they use by developing a highly cost-effective continuous, conveyor-based solid-state microwave-based system for the production of low-carbon concretes incorporating higher levels of waste products, with lower energy use and lower carbon footprint, yet retaining high mechanical performance. The significant reduction in the carbon footprint is expected to lead to rapid environmental, social and economic impact and hence market opportunities.

该提案直接涉及提高英国混凝土行业的效率，出口潜力和能源利用率，因为水泥是地球上仅次于水的第二大使用物质，并且制造过程每年产生大量二氧化碳。拟议的技术将使混凝土制造商能够通过开发一种具有高度成本效益的连续的、基于走廊的固态微波系统来增加他们使用的低碳水泥的数量，该系统用于生产低碳混凝土，该混凝土包含更高水平的废品，具有更低的能源使用和更低的碳足迹，但仍保持高的机械性能。预计碳足迹的大幅减少将带来快速的环境、社会和经济影响，从而带来市场机遇。
