520			_aThe production of alkali-activated (AA) binders uses less energy and produces less carbon dioxide than conventional Portland cement (PC). There is a clear need for standardisation and certification of AA binders and concretes. However, there are a range of possible routes and approaches open to the binder manufacturers. As is already the case with established Portland-based cements, supporting guidance, experience in use and codes of practice will ultimately be essential to underpin the wider acceptance of AA binders as a construction material. This paper summarises the current position in this emerging area of construction technology from a UK perspective.
