Abstract
Nowadays conventional binding material for the construction sector is Portland cement. Portland cement consists mainly of high-energy intensive with a significant carbon footprint Portland cement clinker. Reduction of clinker content in binding materials becomes the utmost priority for scientists in the field, it is reflected in manufacturers’ Sustainability Road Maps. This fact triggers searches and actions in different directions such as improving grinding technologies, chemical additives and admixtures development, and extension of the cementitious portfolio itself to increase the availability of raw materials. More and more often in construction technologies materials that relatively recently did not represent a value as cementitious due to the availability of more easy options, are being used. This article considers opportunities and aspects of wet-handled coal bottom ash use from thermal power stations.
