Our take
To support the decarbonization of the construction industry, Fortera delivers a process that produces low to zero CO2 cement. This cement is suitable for a range of applications such as flooring, concrete and precast elements, meaning it could substitute traditional alternatives across the sector.
Put simply, Fortera's approach works by taking the CO2 formed in the heating step and recycling it into the product at a later stage. This means the CO2 normally released is instead captured, which is why it is a zero-carbon process.
It's certainly an intriguing concept, and inventors agree - with Fortera securing substantial funds across a number of rounds. It will use the latest investment to deploy its technology and manufacture the product at the market scale. Currently, its ReCarb plants are predicted to mineralize 165,000 tons of industrial CO2 annually.
