Germany: Dyckerhoff has launched Dyckerhoff Weiss Blue Star, a pozzolanic white cement CEM IV/A (P) 42.5 R product. It was approved by the German cement association, the VDZ, in mid-June 2023 and is now being manufactured at the Amöneburg plant. The lower CO2 credentials of the new product have been promoted as it releases around 15% less CO2 compared to CEM I cements. It is also notable for being a blended white cement.
