Ecocem signs agreement with TITAN Group to accelerate the deployment of low carbon cement

Ecocem has announced the signing of a partnership agreement with TITAN Group to co-develop and deliver innovative low-carbon cements.

Focusing initially on the Greek market, TITAN and Ecocem will work together to co-develop and deploy a bespoke version of ACT, Ecocem’s scalable low-carbon cement technology. The new low-carbon cement will be created by replacing a substantial portion of clinker with locally sourced supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), which will reduce the carbon footprint of cement by up to 70%, while meeting materials performance targets.

The first volumes of this bespoke version of ACT will be available in Greece. This collaboration marks a key step in TITAN’s journey toward net-zero emissions and aligns with its strategic goal of expanding its innovative product portfolio. This agreement will deliver efficient and cost-effective solutions which can be readily adopted.

For Ecocem, this deal represents a significant first. This co-development and technology transfer agreement is the first Ecocem has signed with a major cement producer, and the first commercial initiative to focus on working with a range of SCMs beyond slag.

These developments will have a sizeable positive impact on the carbon footprint of the wider construction supply chain. Cement is estimated to account for around 50% of the embodied carbon in new building projects, and almost 8% of the world’s total CO₂ output.

Donal O’Riain, Founder and Group Managing Director of Ecocem, continued: “Signing this co-development and technology transfer agreement with a partner of TITAN Group’s size and calibre is a real demonstration of confidence in our ACT technology. It’s also testament to the value of our focus on research and innovation and our ability to take pioneering new approaches for low-carbon cement from the lab to the construction site.

ACT technology reduces emissions by using cement with much greater efficiency and without requiring a significant green premium. This partnership has the potential to accelerate the use of a range of SCMs with ACT technology and deliver rapid and low-cost decarbonisation of the cement industry globally.”
