Our groundbreaking ACT technology has obtained an ETA (European Technical Assessment) from EOTA (European Organisation for Technical Assessment). This independent assessment will enable the introduction of this new low carbon cement throughout Europe. There is also the potential to scale globally since ETAs are recognised and highly respected internationally.
The path is now clear for the global cement industry to become the first major industrial sector to decarbonise on a trajectory compliant with the Paris Agreement to achieve a 1.5°C trajectory, without major changes to current working practices or excessive cost.
Ecocem has obtained a Technical Evaluation of Products and Materials (Evaluation Technique de Produits et Matériaux, or ETPM) in the French market for ACT1 – the first version of our groundbreaking scalable cement technology.
This investment is in addition to the €50 million investment at Ecocem’s Dunkirk facility to deliver its first ACT production line. These new industrial facilities will be concentrated in the Fos-sur-Mer and Dunkirk areas.
In his latest blog, Ecocem’s award-winning research scientist, Simon Blotevogel, speaks about research on Electric Arc-Furnace (EAF) slags, collaboration being the key to innovation, and how we are at a critical moment in our mission to decarbonise the cement industry.
John Reddy, Director of Concrete Technology Deployment at Ecocem, reflects on his recent Webinar with the NEU, a centre of excellence for carbon-neutral concrete established by the American Concrete Institute (ACI)
We’ve been committed to developing low carbon cement solutions for over 20 years and that commitment remains undimmed. CO2 changes everything. We are determined to accelerate our innovation and our progress and keen to work with industry and policy makers to deliver solutions.
Our people’s energy, commitment and belief in our mission are what deliver our industry changing technology and innovation. Their passion and desire to change the world for the better is what sustains us all.
