en.Wedoany.com Reported - India's Ambuja Cements (a subsidiary of the Adani Group) has partnered with UK decarbonization company Leilac to jointly develop a commercial-scale low-carbon cement production pathway. The pilot project will be implemented at the Sanghi plant in the Kutch region of Gujarat, India, which has an annual capacity of 6.6 million tons. Leilac's carbon capture and hybrid electrification technology will be tested at this facility.

Ambuja Cements is increasing its use of renewable energy, leveraging nearly 1 GW of captive green power capacity to advance cement manufacturing decarbonization. The company stated that the technology aims to achieve a pathway that can reduce coal consumption to zero while flexibly using alternative fuels.

If successful, the project could be scaled up seven to eight times, capturing over 1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. The company noted that this facility would become the world's largest industrial-scale project of its kind and could provide a scalable low-carbon cement production model for India and other markets.

Karan Adani, Director of Ambuja Cements, said that the cement industry's transition to a low-carbon future requires bold thinking, technological innovation, and collaboration across the entire value chain. The partnership with Leilac reflects a commitment to evaluating next-generation technologies that can reduce process emissions while improving energy efficiency and supporting long-term sustainable growth, aligning with the vision of building world-class manufacturing operations for the future.
