Bruks Siwertell has secured a third next-generation Siwertell road-mobile ship unloader order from a returning cement handler. The latest 5 000 S unit will join two other 5 000 S Siwertell road-mobile unloaders that were delivered in recent years. “A third contract from the cement handler is a great endorsement of our technology,” says Pedro Alfaro, Project Development Engineer, Bruks Siwertell. https://lnkd.in/emRtrxi2 #brukssiwertell #siwertell #shipunloader #roadmobile #repeatorder #cementhandling #portoperations #porttechnology

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: While you may have seen the DOE and TechCrunch posts, this official release dives into Furno's vision and the next steps. We’re here to make low-carbon cement production available to everyone, everywhere. For years, U.S. cement production has relied on massive plants and as a result has tripled its imports. Cement is responsible for 8% of global emissions, and the way we make it hasn’t changed in a century. But Furno’s Project OZ, with a $20M DOE award, and our commercial partner Ozinga, brings a future of modular, low-carbon cement production back home. This isn’t just about making cement; it’s about making it accessible, sustainable, and American-made. Modular, accessible, zero-compromise. This is Ordinary Portland Cement with a fraction of the emissions. Produced locally, deployed globally. A future built onshore. A future decarbonized. #ProjectOZ #Onshoring #ModularCement #LowCarbonCement #AmericanMade #SustainableConstruction

For those of you who are curious about what the future of sustainable cement production will look like, take a look at this article in Global Cement where our co-founder in Cemvision, Claes Kollberg shares his views.

Decarbonization of cement production continues to move forward with several industry projects, including one by California-based Furno Materials which recently announced a $20 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Furno Materials is funded by DOE for a modular cement plant. It is one of 12 other projects nationwide aimed to strengthen domestic supply chains, eliminate harmful emissions, and return jobs to communities impacted by local coal plant closures from the DOE and Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). Project OZ based in Chicago, Illinois, will demonstrate a model for low carbon cement production, powered by Furno’s advanced kiln technology and supported by Ozinga, a concrete producer in the U.S. While Furno will manage the construction and operation of the plant to meet sustainability, operational, and community-focused goals, Ozinga will provide industry expertise and supply all raw materials for the project, ensuring 100 percent of the cement off-take. The project will not only enable onshoring cement production back to the U.S. but also transform the cement industry, responsible for 8 percent of global CO2 emissions, with a new model for decarbonized, modular cement production. Furno has developed modular production units that can be built in a factory and deployed wherever required. The project will showcase that small, repeatable, standardized plants can be scaled to meet market demand and also reduce costs as well as increase flexibility, making sustainable cement production more accessible. Furno’s technology reduces CO2 emissions by replacing traditional coal-fired kilns with high-efficiency gas-based combustion, minimizing fuel emissions by 70 percent. Additionally, Furno replaces up to 44 percent of limestone with up-cycled calcium-rich waste, which further reduces emissions. Furno aims to replace 80 percent of traditional raw materials to achieve an 82 percent emissions reduction by 2030.

Green cement can reduce the carbon emissions by up to 40% by using a carbon - negative manufacturing process. #Fortera, a Silicon Valley tech company just opened the first green cement factory in the USA and vows to reduce the carbon emissions by 70%. How is done? The CO2 is mineralized into a reactive form of calcium carbonate that can be used in the cement. The process speeds up carbon mineralization, which naturally occurs over thousands of years, in order to remove more CO2 in a shorter amount of time. The Forteta plant can capture 6,600 tons of CO2 and produce 15,000 tons of ReAct cement each year and is planning to integrate green energy sources to achieve zero net. #fortera #contech #proptech #building #construction #zeronet #ReAct #siliconvalley #california #usa #siliconvalleyproptechassociation

Eureka Shipping to Launch Eco-Friendly Cement Carrier in the Great Lakes Eureka Shipping, a collaboration between SMT Shipping and The CSL Group, has unveiled plans to construct a groundbreaking mechanical/pneumatic cement ship aimed at curbing emissions within Great Lakes shipping. With a deadweight of 12,500 metric tonnes, the innovative vessel is poised to replace two older counterparts, aligning with Eureka's commitment to eco-friendly practices. According to Kai Grotterud, Managing Director of Eureka Shipping, the new cement carrier will play a pivotal role in decarbonization efforts, substantially reducing emissions per metric tonne of cargo transported. The vessel's design incorporates a diesel-electric propulsion system, fuel-efficient engines capable of operating on HVO biofuel, and two rudder propellers equipped with 360-degree thrust for enhanced maneuverability. Additionally, energy-saving features such as LED lighting and advanced cargo handling equipment are integrated, alongside noise insulation and silencers to minimize operational noise. Moreover, the vessel is primed for shore power usage once available. Currently under construction by the Holland Shipyard Group in the Netherlands, the vessel is slated for delivery in 2025. In the interim, the MV Sunnanvik, an 8,600 DWT mechanical/pneumatic cement carrier, will cover trade routes until the new vessel's arrival. Notably, the MV Sunnanvik has been equipped with two "Ventofoil" sails from Econowind, marking a significant leap towards green energy adoption. These # sails harness # wind energies to provide additional thrust, thereby reducing #emissions. Their effectiveness will be evaluated on the Great Lakes to optimize vessel #speed based on prevailing wind conditions. Eureka underscores that the Sunnanvik will mark the pioneering entry of a sail-equipped #vessel into Great Lakes operations, reaffirming their commitment to sustainable #shipping practices.

FEEL THE GREEN BURN🪨👷🟢🇩🇪🇬🇧: Smarter, safer, and more sustainable—this is the theme of the WIRTGEN GROUP’s appearance at Hillhead - International quarrying, construction + recycling show 2024. From 25 to 27 June, the focus will be on exciting premières for the British market, including the world’s first burner that can be fuelled exclusively with green hydrogen. Trade visitors to Stand Q1 at the show will also be able to take a closer look and discover more about the digital solutions from the Wirtgen Group.   On the road to making the future of road construction more sustainable, the greatest leverage potential lies in the field of asphalt production. With the world’s first burner that can be fuelled exclusively with green hydrogen, Benninghoven, a Wirtgen Group Company presents a groundbreaking solution for the future that is already on the market today. Alongside the latest generation of burners for use with alternative fuels, the special presentation at the stand will also be showcasing further technologies for sustainable asphalt production.    The new mobile impact crusher MOBIREX MR 100(i) NEO/NEOe is premiering in the UK at Hillhead 2024. The NEO line is the new efficient, compact class from Kleemann, a Wirtgen Group company. Thanks to its compact dimensions and low transport weight, the MR 100(i) NEO/NEOe can be used flexibly and quickly in various applications. Operation in tight spaces on work sites or in frequently changing places of work is easily possible. Operation ranges from different recycling applications, such as the processing of concrete, rubble and asphalt, to the processing of soft to medium-hard natural stone. All-electric operation is possible with the MOBIREX MR 100(i) NEOe variant.
