CILANTRO
CARBON-NEGATIVE CEMENT: a tribological solution for limestone decarbonation, silication and carbon utilization
In Progress
Project Overview
The cement industry is a cornerstone of global infrastructure, but it is also a significant contributor to climate change, accounting for approximately 8% of all industry-related CO₂ emissions. Achieving climate neutrality requires a revolutionary shift in how we produce the materials that build our world. CILANTRO was launched to address this major challenge head-on: to develop a new cement manufacturing technology that results in net negative CO₂ emissions over the cement’s lifetime.
