Microsoft to purchase 0.6Mt of Sublime Cement

23 May 2025

US: Microsoft has agreed to buy 0.62Mt of cement from Sublime Systems over the next 6 - 9 years. The low-carbon cement producer will supply its product from its first commercial factory in Holyoke, Massachusetts and its subsequent full-scale production factory. The purchase marks the first binding commitment for Sublime's full-scale plant, which it plans to bring online in 2030, two years after its plans to open its first commercial facility in Holyoke. The Holyoke plant is due to break ground in mid 2025.

The Somerville-based startup structured the deal using a ‘book and claim’ system that allows Microsoft to purchase cement and its environmental attributes separately when needed. The company says this approach is the first-of-its-kind in the cement industry, adapting a model previously used in renewable energy and sustainable aviation fuel markets. Under the agreement, Microsoft commits to using the environmental value of Sublime's cement in all cases, even when the physical material can't be deployed in nearby Microsoft construction projects.

“Sublime’s mission is to have a swift and massive impact measured in the amount of cement we produce and sell. So we are super-focused on increasing production,” said Leah Ellis, CEO of Sublime Systems. “We can't stop with Microsoft. We want to make sure we're supplying our material to many different types of infrastructure, so we'll also be pursuing various contracts and purchase agreements with folks who represent different types of the built environment.”

NovaAlgoma confirms order for cement carrier in China

28 March 2025

China: NovaAlgoma Cement Carriers has confirmed an order for a 38,000t methanol dual-fuel pneumatic cement carrier by Zhejiang Xinle Shipbuilding, for delivery in 2027.

The vessel will be chartered under a long-term contract by Holcim. Other features include an air lubricating system and a waste heat recovery system, which will recycle exhaust gases to generate electricity.

“By increasing the quantity intake and burning green methanol, the CO₂ emissions on these shipments will be reduced by more than 60% per year in comparison to current freight flows, ie 0.18Mt of CO₂ reduction over a period of 10 years,” NovaAlgoma said.

thyssenkrupp Polysius to design world’s largest activated clay plant in Brazil

17 January 2025

Brazil: thyssenkrupp Polysius has secured a front-end engineering design contract from Circlua for the construction of the world’s largest activated clay plant, with a capacity of 0.96Mt/yr (3000t/day). The plant will be largely powered by renewable electricity, and will be located in Pará, utilising clay sourced from the Carajás iron ore complex. The clay contains up to 80% kaolinite content, and will be upcycled as supplementary cementitious material.

thyssenkrupp Polysius CEO Christian Myland said “We are honoured to partner on this landmark project. Leveraging high-quality local clay and our advanced activated clay technology, this plant will set a new benchmark for carbon-conscious cement production.”

Eagle Materials awards contract to thyssenkrupp polysius for modernisation of Laramie plant

28 November 2024

US: Eagle Materials has awarded thyssenkrupp Polysius a contract for the modernisation and expansion of its Laramie, Wyoming cement plant. The modernisation project will result in an expansion of the plant's manufacturing capacity to approximately 1.1Mt/yr of cement. The project also includes the installation of an alternative fuel substitution system. The modernisation of the cement plant is expected to deliver benefits such as cost reductions, achieved with lower-cost alternative fuels and natural gas, simplified maintenance and improved operational efficiencies. The production expansion from the new finish mill will supplement the grinding capacity of the existing plant, which already operates with an integrated polysius booster mill. The polytrack ECO cooler will facilitate heat recovery and clinker cooling while improving process reliability. The project, which has received primary regulatory approvals, is slated to commence immediately [in November 2024], with construction scheduled for completion by the second half of 2026.
