has signed a global commercial partnership with
Carbon capture is essential to achieve a sustainable global cement industry – which currently accounts for 7-8% of global carbon emissions - and deliver on FLSmidth’s MissionZero pledge to enable zero emission production by 2030.
Working with the UK’s C8S,
“The combination of C8S’ advanced carbonation technology and our extensive process knowledge will make a significant contribution to the cement industry’s Net Zero ambitions.”
“FLSmidth will work closely with C8S to accelerate the implementation of its technology and we will draw upon our in-depth know-how, our products and our global presence. This agreement is a significant leap forward in our joint efforts to deliver on the sustainability ambitions for the global cement industry.”
The partnership is in effect as of today and in a joint webinar in

C8S’s advanced carbonation technology is a process which happens naturally in the atmospheric conditions. If left in the open, compounds such as calcium or magnesium oxides, hydroxides, or silicates will react with the carbon dioxide. However, this process is extremely slow - taking place over tens of years. C8S’s technology accelerates this process in a controlled way and in doing so, has created one of the worlds few economically viable forms of carbonation and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU). Accelerated Carbonation Technology (ACT) mineralises and stabilises these industrial by-products or residues to produce a granular solid. C8S’s expertise around the carbonation process means that it is able to control the physical characteristics of the end-product. The end-product has various valuable applications, such as aggregates for construction, or agricultural fertiliser. For maximum efficacy, the most reactive residues need to be high in calcium or magnesium oxide, hydroxide, or silicates.
The company’s patented CCU solution is known as the CO2ntainer system; a modular, containerised solution (carbon capture in a box), it is similar in size to a shipping container so can be easily transported by HGV to site.
