Aeternum’s Environmental and Sustainability Advantages
By minimizing leaks, self-healing Aeternum curbs emissions of greenhouse gasses (e.g., methane) and VOCs. Using Aeternum also lowers an oil & gas producer’s carbon footprint through longer asset life, reduced cement volume needs over time, and fewer repair operations. This aligns with regulatory pressures for methane mitigation and sustainable energy practices.
Finally, Aeternum is made at a process temperate of only 750° C instead of the 1450° C needed to make OPC. The massive reduction in fuel (usually natural gas) required in and of itself both reduces the material cost and cuts CO2 emissions by 50 – 60%.
Overall, using Aeternum can make a meaningful difference in oil & gas infrastructure by delivering self-healing to prevent failures, increase strength and longevity in hostile environments, enable flexible cost-effective use of almost any available water, and substantially reduce CO2 emissions.
