CemVision

Company Description

Concrete is the most widely used resource in the world after water, and the production of cement — the main component of concrete — is one of the biggest polluters on the planet responsible for over 7% of global CO₂ emissions.

CemVision is using an algorithmic approach to cement production to reduce CO₂ emissions of our most important building material. CemVision’s approach replaces fossil limestone with waste materials and switches fuels such as plastic and coal for green thermal energy. CemVision creates a non-traditional cement type that has not only superior product properties compared to traditional Portland cement but also a lower carbon footprint due to the reduced need for limestone. CemVision’s low-carbon cement resembles specialty cements that were previously too expensive to use in general construction. In addition to reducing CO₂ emissions, CemVision’s novel cement technology makes concrete construction faster and more resource efficient.

CemVision’s technology aims at pushing cement and concrete construction toward net-zero emissions. Through the Fellows program, CemVision AB will develop the technology and intellectual property in order to scale their solution for meaningful production.
