New partnership to accelerate cement decarbonisation

Carbon Re's Delta Zero industrial decarbonisation platform can cut fuel use by up to 10% and CO₂ emissions by up to 20% and has been piloted in cement plants across 3 continents. For an average cement plant, emissions reduction can reach 50 kt of CO₂ emissions a year.

The platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to model a cement plant’s production environment and optimise processes for the lowest possible CO₂ output and fuel use, with no capital expenditure.

Sherif Elsayed-Ali, CEO and co-founder of Carbon Re, said: "Our technology is already having a huge impact on some of the world's most energy-intensive industries. This strategic partnership with A³&Co. will enable even more cement producers to benefit from the operational savings offered by AI as they tackle the challenge of cutting carbon emissions and rising fuel prices."

A³&Co. has a team of cement industry experts offering advisory services ranging from Strategic Business Consulting and project management to their globally unique concept solution of Digital Maturity, with a key focus on sustainability. A³&Co. aims to support the built environment with a focus on the cement industry as it tackles the challenge of reducing CO₂ emissions, with a calculated results-based solutions roadmap to ensure manufacturers remain competitive.

Amr Nader, CEO and co-founder of A³&Co., said: "This strategic partnership with Carbon Re is one of our key international collaborations to drive decarbonisation of the built environment with a focus on the cement industry. There is a lot of talk about the climate crisis but not enough action. This partnership is set to provide tangible benefits with measurable results for both cement manufacturers and the planet."
