Fortera and Graymont signed a strategic partnership agreement to produce Fortera’s ReAct low-carbon cement, leveraging Graymont’s existing lime production operations and innovations in sustainable building materials.
“What stood out to us about Fortera is that they’re not trying to reinvent the cement industry. Rather, they’re working to innovate on the infrastructure we already have,” said Stéphane Godin, president and CEO at Graymont. “We’ve spent more than 75 years building a global calcium solutions business, and this partnership allows us to continue to lead the way in innovative and sustainable products for our customers.”
Fortera’s ReAct, combined with its ReCarb technology, will enable Graymont to expand its production of low-carbon cementitious solutions by reusing CO2 without significant changes to its facilities or operations, a factor that has traditionally limited the rollout of new technologies.
“Graymont is a global leader, and their decision to partner with us is a strong endorsement for Fortera’s technology,” said Ryan Gilliam, CEO of Fortera. “From day one, the collaboration with the Graymont team has been instrumental in shaping the commercial design of our plants, from scalability to reliable operations, and in expanding our product opportunities. Together, we’re showing that it’s possible to cut cement emissions in an economic way.”
Fortera’s ReAct low-carbon cement has already undergone over a decade of real-world validation and will now be available at industrial production volumes.
