From Sao Paolo and Toronto to Toulouse and Delhi, we have established a strong network of collaboration with universities worldwide. We work with some of the world’s leading materials scientists on the development of our low-carbon applications. Their expertise and insights help us challenge the status quo and push the boundaries on the development of next generation low-carbon solutions.
This network of research and academic partners supports collaboration, validation, and future dissemination of ground-breaking technologies worldwide. Its members advise us on next generation cement technologies and their contribution is invaluable to producing scalable solutions that can help the entire industry decarbonise.
With our focus on future innovation and talent, in addition to our own innovation centre in Paris, and our two shared research laboratories with Ecole Normal Superieure (ENS) University of Paris Saclay and Toulouse University, we fund an additional eight PhDs at universities around the world. This gives us a global technology perspective, deep expertise, and access to global resources.
Our focus on R&D over the last twenty years has delivered a range of low-carbon solutions already used in major infrastructure projects. ACT, the team’s latest innovation, has cracked the scalability challenge and found a solution that can decarbonise the cement sector in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Adopting ACT widely means the cement industry can reduce its global emissions rapidly and cost-effectively and has the opportunity to be the first industrial sector to comply with a 50% reduction in emissions by the end of 2030.
The consortium of Cairn, UCD, Kilsaran, and Ecocem has secured €50,000 in funding from Construct Innovate, Ireland’s national Construction Technology Centre, to validate an innovative low-carbon cement capable of significantly cutting Ireland’s CO2 emissions from the construction sector.
Tata Steel IJmuiden (TSIJ) and Ecocem Materials Ltd. (Ecocem) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their collaboration on the development and potential use of two next-generation steelmaking slags in low‑carbon cement, mortar, and concrete applications across Europe.
In her latest blog, Ecocem’s Director of Public Affairs and Sustainability, Susan McGarry, discusses Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra’s recent visit to our Dunkirk production facility
Ecocem, Europe’s leading provider of low-carbon cement technologies, welcomed the EU Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth – Wopke Hoekstra to its flagship production facility in Dunkirk, France on Tuesday 14 April.
