The World Cement Association (WCA) has announced that it is welcoming Dutch cleantech company Aeroborn as an associate corporate member to its international community
Aeroborn is a Dutch cleantech company which specialises in developing and commercialising carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies to accelerate net- zero targets.
Aeroborn’s technologies focus on reducing net CO2 emissions in four key sectors: construction, energy, process industry, and transport.
Their proprietary technology turns carbon waste into usable products such as Carbon Black, which sees particular potential for the use of CO2 as an industrial feed and could become a major contributor to global carbon emissions reduction.
‘Decarbonising the cement industry’
Ian Riley, WCA’s CEO commented: “CCUS programmes and wider adoption of alternative feeds represent two of the most significant levers available to help cement producers reduce net carbon emissions.
“Aeroborn’s expertise and innovations in combining these two areas will be of particular interest to our members as we work together towards the goal of decarbonising the cement industry, so we are very pleased to welcome them to the WCA.”
‘Tackling emissions in this hard-to-abate sector’
Man Yong Toh, CEO of Aeroborn added: “We’re delighted to be joining the World Cement Association’s international membership, as the work we are doing is part of the solution to a truly global challenge, so being able to collaborate with companies in different parts of the world is immensely important.
“We’ve been impressed with the work already being done by the WCA to help its members tackle emissions in this hard-to-abate sector, and we look forward to being able to contribute our own insights and experiences as well.’’
