Since 2015, we have been investors in DB Group, supporting the development of an ultra-low carbon cement alternative able to help decarbonise the built environment.
Cemfree is a pioneering, totally cement- free alternative to traditional Portland cement – concrete’s most carbon- expensive material – and an established solution proven to deliver the largest carbon reduction in cement applications in the market.
Within Grosvenor’s own property activities, Cemfree was originally used in the development of Eccleston Yards in Belgravia, resulting in a reduction of 31 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to planting 153 trees or taking 18 cars off the road for a whole year.
The product is now also being used as part of the development of Grosvenor’s first net zero carbon office development, Holbein Gardens in London.
Cemfree has been successfully used in several high-profile projects and by industry-leading organisations including High Speed Two Ltd, The Environment Agency, Thames Tideway Tunnel, Highways England’s A14 £1.5bn upgrade scheme, and Network Rail’s Chatham Station development.
