LIFE MIBA Filler is a climate change mitigation technology that produces a low-carbon binder from incinerator bottom ash (IBA) that can replace cement in concrete production.
This project aims to demonstrate a breakthrough climate-change mitigation technology for the concrete industry by replacing cement with a low-carbon binder. The EU is subsidizing the first demonstration plant under the project name LIFE MIBA Filler; project number: LIFE19 CCM/NL/001219.
LIFE MIBA FILLER produces a cement-like binder from the incinerator bottom ash (IBA). This includes processes such as raw bottom ash treatment, sequential milling, dewatering, and drying to produce a cementitious binder.
The concrete industry contributes to 5-8% of the global greenhouse emissions (GHG), mainly caused by the production and use of cement as a binder. The development of alternative binders is a top priority for the industry to reduce the carbon footprint while still contribute to infrastructure developments and urbanization.
