(57) The present invention provides exemplary method and additive for making cementitious binders that comprise primarily ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) having excellent strength at 24 hours, with preferably little or minimal amounts of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). As OPC manufacture involves carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere, the use of a GGBFS-based binder composition will help to enhance sustainability practices in the construction industry and minimizing strength losses implied by deletion of OPC. Strength in the GGBFS binder composition is enhanced by an alkaline-earth activator in combination with a strength enhancing component comprising dispersant and secondary activator.
