Fortera, a startup based in California, has developed an innovative technology that captures and recycles carbon emissions from cement production. This groundbreaking technology has the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the industry. The company has recently launched its first commercial application at a major facility in Redding, California.
The new technology developed by Fortera captures carbon emissions during cement production and reincorporates them into the process. This new low-carbon product will be blended with traditional materials at the CalPortland facility in Redding, with the goal of achieving a 10% reduction in carbon emissions. The company hopes to further increase this reduction over time.
Fortera’s CEO, Ryan Gilliam, envisions their technology as a ubiquitous solution that can be implemented at any plant. This has the potential to revolutionize the cement industry and make a significant impact on global carbon dioxide emissions.
Cement production is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide and is vital for modern infrastructure. Efforts to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint include improving energy efficiency, using alternative fuels, and developing environmentally-friendly materials to replace traditional cement.
The implementation of Fortera’s technology at the CalPortland facility in Redding is a significant step towards a more sustainable cement production process. This development is crucial in addressing the environmental impact of the industry and working towards a more sustainable future.
