The partnership will leverage Ecocem’s ACT technology alongside regionally sourced supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), to expand the scope of sustainable cement applications.
TITAN Group, which operates in 25 countries, has made a significant commitment to carbon reduction through material innovation, aligning with its strategic goal of achieving net-zero emissions.
Ecocem, whose backers include Saint-Gobain Group, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and ArcelorMittal (a shareholder in its French subsidiary), is expanding its technology's application beyond ground granulated blast-furnace slag to a broader range of SCMs.
This partnership is Ecocem’s first co-development initiative with a multinational cement producer, signifying a major expansion in reach and impact.
Cement production currently contributes to approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions. In new construction, cement alone can account for nearly half of the embodied carbon, making decarbonization critical to meeting global climate targets.
Ecocem’s ACT technology addresses this challenge by improving cement efficiency without significantly increasing cost—a key concern for large-scale adoption. The solution has already been applied in several major infrastructure projects, including The Grand Paris Express, the UK's HS2 high-speed rail and at Ireland's Aviva Stadium.
Across these projects, Ecocem's solutions have collectively helped avoid an estimated 18 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
The first low-carbon cement volumes produced through this new collaboration will be launched in Greece. If successful, the partnership will be scaled across TITAN Group’s broader global network.
