Jamil Famau, serving as the Laboratory Analyst at TRC Africa, recently completed a transformative 10-week training program at the TRC Asia headquarters situated within the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. This extensive training, conducted from October 2023 to January 2024, has significantly enriched Famau’s expertise and knowledge, equipping him with invaluable skills for the testing and analysis of samples from Sub-Saharan Africa – a core service provided by TRC Africa.

The comprehensive training program not only refined Famau’s capabilities but also fostered a deeper collaboration between TRC Africa and TRC Asia. This strategic partnership aims to facilitate the seamless transfer of state-of-the-art knowledge, ensuring the delivery of services at the highest possible quality. The knowledge and experience gained by Famau during this training initiative are poised to contribute significantly to the advancement of LC3 technology in Sub-Saharan Africa.

LC3 technology stands as a groundbreaking innovation in the cement sector, offering a concrete pathway to decarbonize the industry. Remarkably, it can reduce carbon emissions in the cement manufacturing process by up to 40%. One of its key advantages lies in the utilization of locally available raw materials, making LC3 both affordable for manufacturers and accessible to consumers.

The overarching goal of the training program is aligned with the mission to promote the mainstream adoption of LC3 cement in Sub-Saharan Africa. This cement variant is recognized as the most effective green solution in terms of carbon reduction. The expertise gained by professionals like Jamil Famau is poised to play a pivotal role in propelling the widespread acceptance and implementation of LC3 technology across the region, contributing significantly to environmental sustainability and the advancement of the construction industry in Sub-Saharan Africa.
