Greece: Titan Group has entered a strategic partnership with thyssenkrupp Polysius to advance Polysius’ meca clay technology, which aims to reduce CO₂ emissions from cement production. The collaboration was formalised through a memorandum of understanding.
The meca clay system activates alternative cementitious materials to partially replace clinker, thereby lowering emissions and energy use without affecting performance, according to the company. Titan will first implement the technology at its Patras cement plant, with pilot activities scheduled for 2026 and further rollout planned. The partnership targets the production of low-carbon cement with a clinker-to-cement ratio below 40%, compared to 93% in ordinary Portland cement.
