Project Overview
Carbon Upcycling in partnership with CEMEX, a global cement producer and a leading sustainable construction materials and solutions company, will be developing an industrial-scale plant that produces cement additives by sequestering CO2 in industrial byproducts. The project will take place at the Rugby cement plant and will be the first deployment of the Carbon Upcycling technology in Europe.
Our technology will produce a high-performance cementitious material from locally-sourced industrial byproducts and permanently sequester CO2 emissions from the cement kiln.
The low-carbon material will be used to reduce the clinker ratio of the Rugby cement plant, significantly reducing the embodied carbon of the cement.

“We are committed to lead efforts that support the decarbonization of the cement sector by combining our extensive industry knowledge with the most promising and innovative solutions. At Cemex, we aim to reach net-zero by 2050 and this project with Carbon Upcycling is an important milestone towards utilizing captured carbon to help achieve this goal. This project will help us to double the industry’s use of cement replacements by 2030 and allow Cemex to participate in a circular economy project.”
