Solidia Technologies, Inc. is a leader in the low-carbon cement and concrete market. Recently, they entered into a technology licensing arrangement with CalPortland® Company, one of the largest building materials producers in the Western United States. This arrangement allows CalPortland to license certain patents that enable up to a 50% reduction in the carbon footprint of cement and concrete. The limited licenses will permit CalPortland to use the Solidia technology in the Western US to develop low-carbon solutions. Additionally, CalPortland purchased certain lab and plant assets from Solidia.
“Solidia Technologies is excited to begin a new licensing programme with CalPortland,” stated Russell Hill, CEO of Solidia. He highlighted CalPortland’s commitment to decarbonization of the cement and concrete industries, making them a great partner for Solidia. Similarly, Bill Mullen, CalPortland Chief Operating Officer, expressed the company’s focus on decarbonization opportunities. He mentioned that the Carbon Reduction Team worked with Solidia Technologies to enter into this licensing agreement and asset purchase to achieve sustainability goals.
Solidia Cement, a product offered by Solidia Technologies, is a low-limestone cement that gains strength through carbonation rather than hydration like traditional portland cement. It is made using the same raw materials and equipment as portland cement but achieves significant CO2 reductions due to lower production temperatures and reduced limestone calcination. Solidia Cement can be used in the manufacture of concrete products and supplemental cementitious materials.
Following the divestiture to CalPortland, Solidia plans to continue working with licensing partners to provide its low-carbon solutions derived from over 300 patents and patent applications globally.
