The World Cement Association (WCA) has announced that it welcomes French low-carbon cement manufacturer Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies as a corporate member.
The founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, founded in 2014, started their company with the intention of driving the ecological evolution of the construction industry by producing the world's first low-carbon cement and providing a replacement for traditional cement. This initiative was successful and received recognition from French President Emmanuel Macron, who celebrated its achievements during his visit to the laboratory in 2016.
Hoffmann has introduced a range of four advanced technology products: H-P2A, H-UKR, H-EVA, H-IONA, all designed to modify the composition of cement to reduce its carbon footprint. Due to its cold production process, low energy consumption, it has created a groundbreaking decarbonated cement with 0% clinker.
Hoffmann's commitment extends to promoting a circular economy within its sustainable practices. By utilising local resources and industry co-products in its cement production process, the company preserves natural resources. Additionally, the firm is committed to reforestation, aiming to sequester carbon by planting 10,000 trees in Occitania, France. These efforts have been recognised through awards such as the Horizon 2020 label for Research and Innovation in Europe.
"In light of the escalating global demand for low-carbon concrete solutions, we are confident that the inclusion of Hoffmann's team and their insights will be invaluable to our member network. We believe it is important that low-carbon cement continues to be used globally and hope this partnership will help accelerate this mission," said WCA's CEO, Ian Riley.
"Our alliance with the WCA marks a crucial step forward in our ongoing journey to redefine the building landscape. We resonate with the WCA's goals of implementing sustainable practices within the cement and wider industry, and we look forward to introducing our innovative solutions and expertise to the global public to further advance this critical agenda," added Thomas Atkinson, Hoffmann's Head of International Development.
