Saudi Arabia’s Al Jouf Cement Green Product to Be Used in NEOM City

Saudi Arabia’s Al Jouf Cement Green Product to Be Used in NEOM City

Al Jouf Cement, one of Saudi Arabia’s leading cement manufacturers, has received approval to use its innovative ‘green’ cement for construction projects within the high-profile NEOM city. This development marks a significant milestone for both the company and the sustainable construction sector. The ‘green’ cement has been developed in collaboration with Asas Al-Muhailb, a prominent ready-mix concrete producer in the region.

The green cement offers a range of benefits that enhance concrete’s performance. One of its most notable features is its ability to improve the durability and longevity of concrete structures. The product is designed to reduce water absorption and permeability, which are key factors that can affect the integrity of concrete over time. Additionally, the green cement is resistant to sulphate and chloride salts, common elements that contribute to the degradation of concrete in harsh environments. What sets this cement apart from traditional alternatives is its superior thermal properties. The green cement provides enhanced heat insulation and fire resistance, making it an ideal choice for projects that require materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions. The product also boasts compressive strength that is equal to or greater than that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), ensuring its reliability and structural integrity in large-scale construction projects.

The approval for use in NEOM is a major win for Al Jouf Cement, as NEOM is a futuristic city being developed in northwestern Saudi Arabia with a focus on sustainability and advanced technology. The city, which is part of Saudi Vision 2030, aims to become a global hub for innovation, smart cities, and sustainable living. The inclusion of green cement in NEOM projects aligns perfectly with these goals, supporting the development of environmentally responsible and resilient infrastructure. Al Jouf Cement’s move to incorporate sustainable practices into its products comes at a time when the construction industry globally is shifting toward more eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions. With NEOM poised to set a global example in sustainable urban development, the approval of Al Jouf Cement’s green product underscores the increasing demand for sustainable building materials in the region. As Saudi Arabia continues its push towards sustainability, Al Jouf Cement’s green cement is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of construction in NEOM and beyond.
