Flyash, and other pozzolanic industrial wastes. There are literally mountains of it.
Problem? There is no "standard flyash," every power station uses a bit different fuel. Same for industrial wastes.
Second option are natural geopolymers, but they are not that common, and coincidentally, most of countries with a lot of geopolymer deposits are rather rich, and that undercuts economic incentives.
