Pozzlock Concrete Trial Delivers Results at Boral’s Maldon Cement Works

Newcastle, Australia | July 2026 – Material produced at MCi Carbon’s Myrtle demonstration plant in Newcastle. Boral has successfully used the material in concrete field trials at its Maldon Cement Works in New South Wales.

SmartCrete Cooperative Research Centre led the project, with Transport for NSW and University of Technology Sydney as partners. The project investigates new supplementary cementitious materials for potential use in lower-carbon concrete for infrastructure applications.

Concrete produced for the trial incorporated a low-carbon cement material ‘Pozzlock’ – a synthetic pozzolan. MCi Carbon manufactured Pozzlock at its Myrtle demonstration plant in Newcastle, which which Australia’s Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen officially opened in June 2026.
