Ecocem Featured in New Environmental Defense Fund Case Study

Ecocem is proud to share that Environmental Defense Fund has released a new case study highlighting our low‑carbon cement technology and our 25 of years of work to decarbonise the global cement industry.

Environmental Defense Fund is globally recognised for profiling organisations that deliver measurable climate impact, meaningful innovation and scalable solutions, making this an important milestone for Ecocem.

For over 25 years, Ecocem has led the drive to reduce emissions in one of the world’s most carbon‑intensive sectors and the case study emphasises that our solutions are practical, cost‑effective and suitable for large‑scale use today. 

It also outlines key policy actions needed to accelerate adoption across the sector, including:

  • Enabling performance‑based standards so innovative materials can reach the market
  • Directing a share of industrial funding towards scaling established low‑carbon cement technologies
  • And using public procurement to create early demand and build confidence across the supply chain.


Grainne Greehy, Ecocem Policy and Advocacy Manager, said: “This Environmental Defense Fund case study reinforces the central role that proven, deployable low‑carbon technologies such as Ecocem’s ACT can play in reducing emissions across the built environment. We welcome this case study outlining the regulatory bottlenecks around standards and funding that need to be removed in order to enable innovations like ACT to scale globally.” 

Environment Defense Fund’s endorsement is a powerful reminder that meaningful climate progress for the cement industry is within reach and we remain committed to leading the way.
