Building materials supplier Cemex, and Ecocem, both European leading-edge companies in lower carbon construction technologies, today announce a new partnership, which will see the two companies work together from June 2023 to test and implement lower carbon solutions in France.<\/p>\n
Cemex and Ecocem have a long history of collaboration, with Ecocem supplying Cemex France with raw materials for many years. With this extension of the partnership the two companies will explore opportunities to use lower-carbon cementitious material in concrete production, in line with Cemex\u2019s European aspiration of hitting a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions in its operations by 2030.<\/p>\n
Initially, the partnership will trial lower carbon solutions in ten of Cemex\u2019s French readymix production plants, with the ambition to extend in France and potentially the wider region as part of a portfolio of initiatives in the sector. Developing innovative partnerships with key industry players such as Ecocem is an important pillar of Cemex\u2019s dedicated climate action strategy, Future in Action.<\/p>\n
