In the December issue of International Cement Review, Roberta Alfani, Ecocem’s Director of Research and Innovation highlights innovative clinker reduction tools. Clinker, the most carbon-intensive component of cement, can be replaced with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) and fillers which can rapidly decarbonise the cement industry at scale. Ecocem’s ACT technology is one example of a cost-effective, scalable, low-carbon cement solution that can be easily adopted in different markets and enhance the performance of various SCM’s.

Ecocem’s mission is to build a sustainable future by leading the way with low carbon cement technology. While climate action is our primary focus, our commitment to sustainability incorporates a wide agenda. A key component of this agenda is a commitment to engaging and making impacts within our local communities. As we close out 2024, Ecocem is proud to reflect on the ways we have supported education, communities, and the environment this year. ➡️Promoting Biodiversity in Schools: Through our partnership with Biodiversity in Schools, our sponsorship of the Wildwalls campaign has enabled young students across Ireland to showcase their creativity by designing murals for their schools, raising awareness of biodiversity and local wildlife. ➡️Raising Awareness for Breast Cancer: In August, the Ecocem team was proud to take part in the Very Pink Run by Breast Cancer Ireland, to raise awareness and support a vital cause. ➡️Investing in Local Sports: Ecocem became a sponsor of Railway Union Sports Club, a community-focused football club based in Sandymount and Ringsend. The club is dedicated to fostering the talent of young players aged 5-16 and promoting coaching development in a positive and inclusive environment. ➡️Education for the Future: The Breakthrough Project continues to support students in Ringsend, Irishtown, and Pearse Street, helping them navigate the Leaving Certificate, university, and professional life through an after-school scholarship programme. ➡️Protecting Ireland’s Native Bees: In partnership with OpenHive Honey, Ecocem’s beehive in Ringsend has continued to thrive, with over 50,000 native Irish bees since its launch in 2022. Ecocem is committed to creating positive impacts for both people and the planet. Here’s to building on these efforts in 2025! #Sustainability #CSR #Biodiversity #Inclusion #LowCarbonCement 

Our latest #SustainabilityReport is an update on our sustainability performance for 2023. We highlight our performance across four key areas: environment, workplace, ethics, and community. We also outline our strategic plans to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by 2026. In this future-focused approach, we plan to integrate #sustainability into all aspects of our operations.

It was great to welcome Dr. Suhaib Salawdeh, of Atlantic Technological University, to the team at Ecocem’s Centre of Excellence for Research & Innovation in Champlan, Paris this week. Earlier this year, Ecocem was named as an Industry Partner of the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Industry RD&I Fellowship. As part of this partnership, Suhaib is conducting research into optimising Ecocem’s breakthrough ACT technology for Irish concrete using Irish materials. Collaboration is key to climate action and this partnership strengthens the bonds between academia and industry with the shared goal of tackling concrete’s carbon-intensive problem. #LowCarbonCement #LowCarbonConcrete #Decarbonisation #AvoidedEmissions #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ClimateSolutions #DecarbonisingConstruction #SustainableConstruction
