Ecocem, Europe's leader in low-carbon cement technologies, has announced the signing of a partnership agreement with TITAN Group, a leading international business in the building and infrastructure materials industry, to co-develop and deliver innovative low-carbon cements.

Focusing initially on the Greek market, TITAN and Ecocem will work together to co-develop and deploy a bespoke version of ACT, Ecocem's scalable low-carbon cement technology. The new low-carbon cement will be created by replacing a substantial portion of clinker with locally sourced supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), which will reduce the carbon footprint of cement by up to 70%, while meeting materials performance targets.

The first volumes of this bespoke version of ACT will be available in Greece. This collaboration marks a key step in TITAN’s journey toward net-zero emissions and aligns with its strategic goal of expanding its innovative product portfolio. This agreement will deliver efficient and cost-effective solutions which can be readily adopted.

For Ecocem, this deal represents a significant first. This co-development and technology transfer agreement is the first Ecocem has signed with a major cement producer, and the first commercial initiative to focus on working with a range of SCMs beyond slag.

These developments will have a sizeable positive impact on the carbon footprint of the wider construction supply chain. Cement is estimated to account for around 50% of the embodied carbon in new building projects, and almost 8% of the world’s total CO2 output.
