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.
Mike will be pivotal in driving Ecocem’s business development initiatives as the Dublin-based company brings its scalable low-carbon cement technologies to markets across North America.
In our latest blog, Steve Bryan, Managing Director for Ecocem in the U.S., reflects on the recent Portland Cement Association’s Sustainability Summit and the impact that reducing clinker and improving efficiency can have on the carbon footprint of the cement industry.
Speaking after the Breakthrough Energy Summit 2024 in London on from 25-27th of June, Donal O’Riain, Founder and Managing Director of Ecocem, Europe’s leading low-carbon cement technology company, called on industry, governments and policy-makers to work together to raise their ambitions on reducing cement emissions.
Ghizlane will play a pivotal role in driving Ecocem’s growth by working with its senior executives to prioritise strategic business decisions and enhance team efficiency.
