As the largest builder of residential homes in Ireland, Cairn Homes is also leading the way in reducing carbon emissions. In 2024, the company announced that it was adopting the passive house standard for all new flagship developments as a way of reducing the energy demand of the homes it builds.
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.
Ecocem welcomed the EU Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth – Wopke Hoekstra to its flagship production facility in Dunkirk, France.
The appointment of five new members to our Board of Directors brings exceptional technical, operational and financial expertise as we gear up for significant growth.
Following ASTM C1157 certification, screening life cycle assessment validates Ecocem’s pathway to delivering high-performance, low-carbon cement at scale in the U.S. market.
The centre represents a significant investment in innovation and will play a key role in Ecocem’s strategy to deliver decarbonisation solutions to the cement and concrete industries.
Performance-based certification confirms Ecocem meets US standards and marks global expansion.
