The increasing population has been generating an increase in the demand for construction to meet the needs of shelter, work, and recreation, this situation has increased the consumption of construction materials. Global warming makes it necessary for the process of manufacturing traditional materials to be more efficient and environmentally sustainable. ??Nowadays concrete is the most produced and used construction material in the world and one of its components is cement. In recent years, cement production has reached more than 4 billion tons, however, it is a process that requires large quantities of non-renewable raw material, with a high energy consumption and potentially contaminating, being responsible for the production and the placement of 6% of CO₂ emitted into the atmosphere each year, which translates into serious environmental consequences.
