TITAN Group and thyssenkrupp Polysius are entering into a strategic partnership aimed at developing and implementing the innovative Polysius meca clay technology, in order to drastically reduce CO2 emissions during cement production.
The agreement, which was sealed with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), represents another decisive step in implementing TITAN Group’s commitment to accelerating the transition to more sustainable construction materials in Europe and internationally.
According to a relevant announcement, the meca® clay technology enables the utilization of alternative cementitious materials (ACMs), which can partially replace clinker, the main component of cement and a major source of CO2 emissions during its production. In this way, both emissions and energy consumption are reduced, without affecting the quality and performance of the final product.
TITAN Group will apply the technology for the first time at its factory in Patras, where the Group’s new Advanced Technologies Center is being developed. Pilot applications are planned for 2026, while gradual development is foreseen in the coming years. The aim is to produce low-emission cement with a clinker-cement ratio below 40%, compared to 93% in traditional Portland cement, further strengthening the Group’s green product portfolio.
This initiative is a fundamental part of our strategy to create the Advanced Technology Center in Patras – a modern innovation hub that will accelerate and strengthen our Group’s initiatives for CO2 reduction, advanced industrial production and technological development. The collaboration with thyssenkrupp Polysius reinforces our effort to decarbonize cement production towards a sustainable future with a low carbon footprint,” said Samir Cairae, TITAN Group Chief Technology Officer.
“The collaboration with Titan is a strong confirmation that the demand for solutions like meca® clay is not theoretical, but comes from leading producers who are already implementing decarbonization on an industrial scale,” said Dr. Björn Olaf Assmann, Head of Innovation at thyssenkrupp Polysius. meca® clay activates a previously untapped decarbonization lever at the key stage of the production process. This collaboration demonstrates how quickly the technology moves from the pilot project stage to solutions with real industrial application.”
