The companies aim to co-develop and deploy a version of ACT, Ecocem’s scalable low-carbon cement technology, optimized for application by TITAN. The new low-carbon cement will be created by replacing a substantial portion of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This new product can reduce the carbon footprint of cement by up to 70% while meeting materials performance targets.
Marcel Cobuz, Chair of the TITAN Group Executive Committee, stated: “Innovation is key to achieving our net zero goals, and our upcoming partnership with Ecocem is a key step in that direction. This collaboration brings us closer to our goal of decarbonising our manufacturing process and product portfolio.”
Donal O’Riain, Founder and Group Managing Director of Ecocem, said: “This partnership will be a major step forward for Ecocem. Our ACT technology reduces emissions by using cement with much greater efficiency and without a significant green premium. We are delighted to be working with TITAN, who – like us – are committed to a rapid and substantial reduction of carbon emissions from cement manufacture. This partnership has the potential to accelerate the use of SCMs with ACT technology and open up new global potential for rapid and low-cost decarbonisation of the cement industry.”
