In recent news, Solidia Technologies, Inc., a leading company in the low carbon cement and concrete market, entered into a technology licensing arrangement with CalPortland® Company. This agreement allows CalPortland to use certain patents that enable up to a 50% reduction in the carbon footprint of cement and concrete.
CalPortland, one of the largest building materials producers in the Western United States, has purchased certain lab and plant assets from Solidia as part of the licensing program. Russell Hill, CEO of Solidia, expressed his excitement about the collaboration with CalPortland and emphasized their commitment to decarbonisation of the cement and concrete industries.
Solidia Cement is a unique low-limestone cement that gains strength through carbonation rather than hydration like traditional portland cement. It is made using the same raw materials and equipment as portland cement but achieves significant CO2 reductions due to lower production temperatures and reduced limestone calcination. This cement can be utilized in the manufacture of concrete products and supplemental cementitious materials.
Following this divestiture, Solidia plans to continue working with licensing partners to provide its low carbon solutions. They have over 300 patents and patent applications globally. Interested parties can register for free to access more information on World Cement’s website.
