Fives and NOC Energy combine their expertise to accelerate the decarbonization of cement processes
A strategic partnership to decarbonize cement production processes
In response to the growing climate and energy challenges facing the cement industry, Fives announces a strategic technology partnership with NOC Energy, a startup specializing in the production and storage of very high-temperature clean heat. This collaboration marks a key milestone in the exploration of new solutions for decarbonizing calcination processes, which are among the most energy-intensive and CO₂-emitting in the world.
The partnership’s objective is clear: to optimize the use of decarbonized energy resources while reducing dependence on fossil fuels, in order to significantly lower the carbon footprint of cement production, a sector responsible for approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions.
This is why Fives and NOC Energy are combining their respective expertise around NOC Cell™ technology, integrated into the Fives clay calcination pilot plant.
