en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. low-carbon cement company Terra announced on the 11th significant progress in expanding and deploying its low-carbon cement technology, a momentum driven by its Series B funding round last summer.

Terra CEO Bill Yearsley stated, "The industry needs solutions that work reliably within existing systems and can be deployed. This combination of scalability, accessibility, and performance enables Terra to deliver hydraulic materials that meet or exceed traditional standards while drastically reducing emissions. Our progress over the past year reflects our commitment to this vision and a rigorous focus on execution."

Construction of Terra's first full-scale manufacturing plant in Cleburne, Texas, is proceeding on schedule and within budget. Once operational in mid-2027, the facility will produce 240,000 tons of Terra's engineered supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) annually to supply the Dallas-Fort Worth market, expanding access to low-carbon cement. As the first plant advances, Terra is replicating its model at scale, moving toward a "shovel-ready" status for six additional facilities across North America to make its low-carbon cement solutions available in every major market.

Terra's first product, OPUS SCM™, is now commercially available as a low-carbon cement solution capable of replacing up to 50% of traditional Portland cement in concrete, significantly reducing carbon emissions without compromising performance. Furthermore, Terra continues to advance OPUS ZERO™, a complete replacement for Portland cement, evaluating its durability and performance in real-world applications through extensive concrete trials.

To support ongoing product development, Terra plans to break ground this month on a new 32,000-square-foot headquarters in Golden, Colorado, featuring advanced materials testing laboratories and expanded pilot-scale R&D facilities to further refine its low-carbon cement technology. Terra has also strengthened its leadership team with the addition of Dwayne Holland as Senior Vice President of Engineering, who previously spent 18 years at KHD Humboldt Wedag, and Stephen Herald as Technical Director, who brings over two decades of experience from Holcim. The company has also retained a $52.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation to support the planned deployment of a facility in the Great Salt Lake market.
