Vattenfall, a leading European energy company, and Cemvision, a Polish cement manufacturer, have entered into an agreement (LOI) for the development and future supply of near-zero emission cement. This innovative cement has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95% compared to traditional cement production.

The new cement has several potential applications, including foundations for wind power turbines, power distribution, and prefabricated concrete elements. Both Vattenfall and its subcontractors could become important new customers for this groundbreaking product. Cemvision develops cement made from recycled residual materials from industries such as mining and steel manufacturing, using fossil-free energy to fuel its kilns.

This process significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional cement production, which relies on virgin limestone and fossil fuels. Vattenfall is committed to participating in the development of a market for near-zero emission cement by creating demand as a customer. The company can also contribute to product verification at its concrete laboratory.
