卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院开发的绿色水泥获得德国气候环境创新奖 

卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院开发了一种新工艺,可以在200摄氏度的低温下烧结新型水泥,而传统的水泥需要大约1450度的高温。

这种水泥因此而具有了节能、节水的特点,尤其是在水泥生产过程中的二氧化碳排放量可以减少约一半。

鉴于世界上每年大约生产30亿吨的水泥,而同时也产生约30亿吨的二氧化碳,该数字是全球航空飞行运输业排放总量的3-4倍,约占全球全部二氧化碳排放量的5-7%。因此毫不奇怪本项目顺利赢得德国2011年度的气候环境创新奖,并赢取了25000欧元的奖金。

这次,以Klaus Töpfer教授为首的评审团从76个项目之中选出了4个获奖项目。这也是德国环境、资源保护与核安全部以及德国产业联盟第三度颁发此奖。详细新闻可见www.kit.edu

The environmentally compatible cement Celitement® developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is granted the 2011 German Innovation Award for Climate and the Environment (IKU). Today, Celitement GmbH founded by KIT, the four inventors, and SCHWENK Zement KG received the award in the category of Product and Service Innovations at Berlin. The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety and the Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e. V. (Federation of German Industries) grant this award for outstanding innovations in climate and environmental protection. The award is endowed with EUR 25,000.
"The German Innovation Award again reflects the high potential of this development made by KIT. With Celitement®, we want to contribute to climate protection in the building sector," said Dr. Peter Fritz, KIT Vice President for Research and Innovation.
"We will remain fit for the future, if we learn to combine economic growth with environmental protection and low consumption of resources. The ideas of the laureates are evidence of the compatibility of economy and ecology," said the Federal Minister for the Environment, Dr. Nobert Röttgen, in Berlin.
Cement holds together all concrete buildings. Every year, cement works produce nearly three billion tons of the binder. During production, they also emit three billion tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide annually. These emissions exceed those of global air traffic by a factor of three to four. Cement production has a share of about five to seven percent in worldwide carbon dioxide emissions. Compared to conventional cement production processes, Celitement® promises an enormous reduction of energy consumption. Presumably, carbon dioxide emissions will be halved. Moreover, the new cement is characterized by a low consumption of resources. Compared to conventional Portland cement, only one third of the amount of limestone is required and it can be done completely without a gypsum additive. "This is achieved by a novel production process, in the main stage of which temperatures of about 200°C are needed only. Conventional cement clinker requires 1450°C," emphasized Dr. Hanns-Günther Mayer and Dr. Peter Stemmermann, who accepted the award for Celitement GmbH.
The jury chaired by Professor Klaus Töpfer selected the four IKU 2011 laureates from among 76 applications this year. The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Reactor Safety and the Federation of German Industries (BDI) granted the award for the third time.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is one of Europe's leading energy research establishments. The KIT Energy Center pools fundamental research with applied research into all relevant energy sources for industry, households, services, and mobility. Holistic assessment of the energy cycle also covers conversion processes and energy efficiency. The KIT Energy Center links competences in engineering and science with know-how in economics, the humanities, and social science as well as law. The activities of the KIT Energy Center are organized in seven topics: Energy conversion, renewable energies, energy storage and distribution, efficient energy use, fusion technology, nuclear power and safety, and energy systems analysis.
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is a public corporation according to the legislation of the state of Baden-Württemberg. It fulfills the mission of a university and the mission of a national research center of the Helmholtz Association. KIT focuses on a knowledge triangle that links the tasks of research, teaching, and innovation.
