First and foremost, we are innovators. We challenge ourselves to invent breakthrough technologies.
We work with some of the world’s best materials-focused universities, such as Université Paris-Saclay, the University of São Paulo, and others to help us realise our mission.
From Bill Gates led Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV), to ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel company, and Saint-Gobain Group, a global sustainable materials group, our strategic investors all recognise the power of our innovation and help guide our global ambitions.
And by partnering with some of the most innovative companies within the construction sector, (such as Vinci, Eiffage and Bouygues,) we have been able to scale our technologies and supply chain to supply some of the largest and greenest infrastructure projects ever undertaken in the EU.
Drawn from a range of backgrounds, commercial, scientific, industry and financial our leadership brings a wide blend of skills and experience and is responsible for leading Ecocem’s operations and makes strategic decisions based on the objectives defined by the Board of Directors. They are all united by their belief in Ecocem’s mission to deliver low carbon cements at scale and accelerate the decarbonisation of the industry.
Ecocem has obtained a Technical Evaluation of Products and Materials (Evaluation Technique de Produits et Matériaux, or ETPM) in the French market for ACT1 – the first version of our groundbreaking scalable cement technology.
This investment is in addition to the €50 million investment at Ecocem’s Dunkirk facility to deliver its first ACT production line. These new industrial facilities will be concentrated in the Fos-sur-Mer and Dunkirk areas.
In his latest blog, Ecocem’s award-winning research scientist, Simon Blotevogel, speaks about research on Electric Arc-Furnace (EAF) slags, collaboration being the key to innovation, and how we are at a critical moment in our mission to decarbonise the cement industry.
John Reddy, Director of Concrete Technology Deployment at Ecocem, reflects on his recent Webinar with the NEU, a centre of excellence for carbon-neutral concrete established by the American Concrete Institute (ACI)
We place a high value on our own internal sustainability performance, monitoring and measuring our operational carbon emissions.
We set ambitious carbon emission reduction targets and publicly communicate our performance against these in an annual sustainability report and by responding to the Carbon Disclosure Project climate change questionnaire.
