The offshore wind sector has been experiencing significant growth for many years, driven by European authorities and companies thanks to its positive impact on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This offshore market has been identified by the C-GROUT project partners as a real opportunity, especially as it is perfectly in line with their core business and development strategy. The need for the development of a specific and innovative grinding technology will also allow a multi-sectoral transversal added value of the research results. The C-GROUT project aims to develop special circular concretes for the offshore wind energy sector. The use of recycled materials to replace certain concrete components will provide an economic, ecological and technological gain that will strengthen the positioning of the project partners in this sector. The C-GROUT project plans to develop grouts for low, high and ultra-high performance concretes for the Offshore sector that stand out from those of their competitors by the fact that they integrate pre-treated secondary mineral materials (waste and industrial by-products) into their compositions. Partners: Reverse Mineral Industry in Wallonia, Euroquartz, Lessine, Centre Terre et Pierre asbl, Université Catholique de Louvain, Université de Liège-PEPS.
