Global: CURA Climate and Titan Group have signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate electrochemical limestone-splitting technology for low-carbon cement and lime production across Titan’s global cement operations. The collaboration will begin with laboratory testing and validation of CURA’s materials, followed by technical and commercial assessments to explore pilot deployment across Titan’s operations. The technology uses electricity and a proprietary redox mediator platform known as CURALYTE to split limestone into calcium hydroxide and a concentrated CO₂ stream, aiming to reduce process emissions by 85% compared to conventional clinker production.

CEO of CURA Erin Bobicki said “Decarbonising cement requires technologies that can integrate with existing infrastructure while dramatically reducing emissions.”

Elli Argyrou, head of ventures and partnerships at Titan, said “Titan Group continuously evaluates breakthrough technologies that can transform our industry, accelerating the decarbonisation of cement production. We look forward to testing CURA’s electrochemical approach and exploring how it could complement our already strong pathway to net-zero cement.”
