en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swedish zero-carbon cement company Cemvision has developed a circular cement product called "Re-ment" and announced a strategic partnership with Siemens. This cement is primarily produced from waste materials such as industrial residues and by-products. When combined with fossil-free energy, it can reduce emissions by up to 95% compared to traditional cement production.
The cement industry accounts for approximately 7% to 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, making it a long-overlooked source of carbon emissions. For decades, the production processes in this industry have undergone little fundamental change. Cemvision aims to alter this situation by leveraging a technological pathway that combines recycled materials with clean energy.
The collaboration spans multiple dimensions. Siemens has been positioned as the preferred supplier for Cemvision's production facilities, with the scope of cooperation including medium and low-voltage power distribution, control systems, drives, process instrumentation, and cybersecurity, as well as digital solutions such as plant lifecycle management, IT/OT integration, and plant simulation. The two parties are also exploring virtual factory (digital twin) technology to support pre-design, value engineering, and virtual commissioning of Cemvision's facilities. Additionally, they are studying the possibility of Siemens becoming an early customer for Cemvision's cement within its own supply chain, which could provide market validation and demand certainty.
Andrea Waenerlund, CEO of Siemens Nordic, stated that digital twins and advanced process control can achieve unprecedented optimization in cement production, and combining Cemvision's cement chemistry expertise with Siemens' digital and automation capabilities creates a blueprint for next-generation sustainable manufacturing. Oscar Hållén, CEO of Cemvision, noted that this partnership aligns closely with both companies' sustainability agendas—Cemvision's mission to decarbonize cement production and Siemens' focus on green industrial transformation—and both parties look forward to fully exploring the collaboration's potential. The partnership has been formally established through a memorandum of understanding, with a commitment to advancing it toward commercial deployment.
