The process

Reduction at the source, not at the stack.

With the Acriva process, the binder sets at ambient temperature from activated materials specific to the Acriva technology. CO₂ that is never made means far less to capture, store or pay for.

The carbon intensity we target per ton is being confirmed through independent production measurements and a Life Cycle Assessment with an Environmental Product Declaration (LCA/EPD). The LCA/EPD documents are checked by an independent verifier and registered with an EPD programme operator, which confirms the published figure. We publish a figure only after that.

No combustion

Secondary raw materials

CO₂ uptake during curing

Capture at the stack (CCS) Baseline

  • 150 to 300 EUR per ton of CO₂ captured
  • Retrofit investment in the billions across a plant portfolio
  • Chemical scrubbing of diluted flue gas, typically 15 to 30% CO₂
  • Dependent on scarce geological storage and third-party pipelines
  • Ongoing operating cost for every ton emitted

Reduction at the source (Acriva) Acriva

  • Significant CO₂ reduction targeted at plant level, independently measured and verified per ton
  • Compatible with existing plant infrastructure. No full rebuild required.
  • Ambient-temperature process, no kilns and no combustion energy
  • Uses existing plants and local raw materials. No new cement plant to build.
  • Measured CO₂ uptake during curing, reported where test data exists

Acriva complements CCS rather than replacing it: less CO₂ produced means less to capture, which lowers cost across the whole chain.

ESG performance

Measurable results across all three ESG dimensions.

Lenders, rating agencies and public buyers ask for evidence. The process delivers it as plant-level numbers rather than statements of intent.

E

Environmental

  • CO₂ intensity per ton measured and independently verified against the plant baseline

  • Eligibility for green finance and lower EU ETS exposure
S

Social

  • Safer plants without high-temperature kiln operation
  • Regional value: local resources become local raw material
  • Transparent supply chain documented per ton
  • Stronger standing with communities and public buyers
G

Governance

  • Documented process with a full CO₂ balance per period
  • Baseline, method and verification set out in the license
