Building the Future: UniSieve Joins the Global Cement & Concrete Industry’s Innovandi Challenge

We are thrilled to announce that UniSieve is progressing in the Global Cement and Concrete Association’s (GCCA) Innovandi Challenge—a major step in driving innovation and sustainability in one of the world’s largest industries! This Challenge will help Cement and Concrete Companies around the globe to adapt new decarbonisation technologies faster and accelerate their decarbonisation efforts.

Why This Matters

The?cement and concrete industry?is the?second-largest?industrial emitter of CO? globally, responsible for nearly?8% of total emissions. Yet, cement is the backbone of modern infrastructure—used in everything from roads to buildings.

So, how do we?reduce emissions?without compromising progress?

The answer lies in?smart, energy-efficient carbon capture and process optimization—and this is where?UniSieve comes in.

The Challenge: Cement’s Carbon Footprint

Cement production generates CO? through two major sources: 1?Process Emissions (Intrinsic to Cement Chemistry)?– Limestone (CaCO?) is heated in kilns, releasing CO? during calcination. These emissions are unavoidable. 2??Energy Emissions (Fuels for Kilns & Operations)?– Cement plants rely on fossil fuels to reach?1400-1500°C?kiln temperatures, producing massive CO? emissions.

This makes?carbon capture and energy efficiency?essential for the industry’s transition to?NetZero.

How UniSieve is Revolutionizing Cement & Concrete

UniSieve’s?molecular sieving membrane technology?offers?a game-changing solution?by enabling:

??Post-Combustion Carbon Capture?– Our membranes efficiently separate CO? from flue gases?shrinking the required energy demand?compared to other methods.

??On-Site CO? Purification & Reuse?– Captured CO? can be?purified and repurposed?in concrete production, reducing emissions while enhancing material properties.

??Decreasing Fossil Fuel Dependence?– Our energy-efficient gas separation solutions optimize?alternative fuel use, reducing reliance on coal and petroleum coke.

Why This Matters for Cement Companies

????Regulatory Pressure?– Stricter CO? emissions limits (e.g., EU ETS, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism). ???Cost Savings?– More energy-efficient separation means lower?OPEX and CO? compliance costs. ???Sustainability Commitments?– NetZero targets demand?scalable, effective decarbonization solutions.

Building a Sustainable Future, One Cement Plant at a Time

The cement industry must act?now?to align with?global climate goals. With UniSieve’s?energy-efficient membranes, companies can?capture, reuse, and reduce?emissions?without disrupting operations.
