Technology Overview
AI Formulated Low Carbon Geopolymer Concrete.
The ITRI has developed the "AI Formulated Low Carbon Geopolymer Concrete Technology", which replaces traditional cement clinker with fully recycled materials such as blast furnace slag, steelmaking slag, and recycled glass. Utilizing a room-temperature alkaline geopolymerization reaction, this technology eliminates the need for high-temperature firing, achieving approximately 90% carbon reduction. At its core is an AI-driven dynamic formulation system that quickly generates optimized mix designs based on the elemental composition of raw materials. This overcomes challenges posed by the diverse and variable quality of recycled materials, ensuring product strength and stability. By substituting chemical energy for thermal energy, the technology conserves natural resources, reduces steel industry by-product stockpiles, and promotes a circular economy. It has already been applied in non-structural projects such as retaining walls, landscape stairs, and utility pits, demonstrating strong commercial viability and sustainable development potential.
