Ecocem

Saint-Gobain, through its venture capital arm NOVA, invested in Fortera, a startup with a CO2-recycling process for low-carbon cement, and also supports Ecocem, a European leader in low-carbon cement technologies, as a shareholder. These moves aim to accelerate low-carbon cement additives.

Ecocem and Point.P (part of Saint-Gobain Building Distribution France) have announced a partnership to develop and market low-carbon binders, concretes and mortars. From 2025, Point.P will deploy Ecocem's ACT technology through its concrete plants and prefabrication factories in France, aiming to reduce cement-related carbon emissions by 35% by 2030.

CB Green and Ecocem announced a long-term cooperation agreement to establish a joint venture to build a grinding mill at Ecocem's plant in Dunkirk, France. The mill is expected to enter production by mid-2026, with over €60M investment and capacity of 600kts of limestone filler per year by 2030.

Saint-Gobain and Ecocem announced a major partnership to accelerate the delivery of low-carbon cement, mortar and concrete products, including R&D cooperation with Saint-Gobain's Chryso unit. The partnership was announced on 2022-10-06.
