Solidia Technologies, a company specializing in low carbon cement and concrete solutions, has recently entered into a technology licensing agreement with CalPortland Company. This licensing deal allows CalPortland to utilize Solidia’s patented technology, which can result in up to a 50% reduction in the carbon footprint of cement and concrete production. CalPortland, a major building materials producer in the Western United States, will be using this technology to further develop low carbon solutions in their operations.
Solidia Technologies, based in San Antonio, Texas, is known for its innovative approach to reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry. Solidia Cement, one of their key products, achieves strength through carbonation, resulting in significant CO2 reductions compared to traditional portland cement. This technology will now be utilized by CalPortland to help achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their environmental impact.
Both companies expressed excitement about the new partnership, with Solidia CEO Russell Hill stating that CalPortland’s commitment to decarbonization makes them a great partner for advancing Solidia’s research and development efforts. CalPortland’s Chief Operating Officer, Bill Mullen, highlighted the importance of finding innovative solutions for reducing carbon emissions in the cement and concrete industries.
With this licensing agreement in place, Solidia expects to continue working with partners worldwide to implement their low carbon solutions. This collaboration between Solidia Technologies and CalPortland Company represents a significant step towards a more sustainable future in the construction industry.
