The TM Tower project in Benidorm, Spain, is expected to become one of Europe's tallest residential buildings and will use low-carbon cement in its structure and foundations. The development will incorporate Cemex's Vertua Supremo cement, which is designed to reduce carbon emissions associated with cement production while meeting the technical requirements of large-scale construction projects.

The use of lower-carbon construction materials is receiving increased attention as the sector seeks to reduce emissions associated with building construction. Cement production is a significant source of emissions within the built environment, contributing to interest in materials and production processes that can reduce embodied carbon.

The TM Tower project provides an example of the application of lower-carbon cement in a large residential development. The project illustrates how alternative construction materials are being integrated into major building projects while maintaining the structural and performance requirements of high-rise construction.
