TITAN and CURA enter agreement to develop new cement technologies

As part of the agreement, the two parties will explore the application of CURA’s electrochemical limestone separation technology, aimed at producing cement with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. The collaboration will begin with laboratory testing and evaluation of the company’s material performance, followed by technical and commercial studies to assess the potential for pilot-scale deployment of the technology at TITAN Group facilities.

CURA’s technology is based on an electrochemical process that enables the separation of CO₂ from limestone prior to the kiln stage, using electricity and the proprietary CURALYTE additive. The process produces high-purity calcium hydroxide and a concentrated stream of carbon dioxide, which can be more easily managed. According to the company, this solution has the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 85% compared to conventional clinker production methods, while being compatible with existing industrial installations without requiring extensive modifications.

CURA CEO Erin Bobicki stated that decarbonising cement production requires solutions that combine high efficiency with easy integration into existing infrastructure, noting that the collaboration with TITAN represents a significant step toward testing the technology at industrial scale.

From the Group’s side, Elli Argyrou, Head of Corporate Development and Ventures at TITAN Group, emphasised that TITAN systematically evaluates cutting-edge technologies capable of accelerating the transition to low-carbon cement production, adding that this partnership strengthens the Group’s broader sustainability strategy.

The agreement forms part of the wider “TITAN Forward 2029” strategy, through which the Group aims to accelerate innovation and develop high-performance, low-environmental-impact solutions. For CURA, it represents another step toward the commercialisation of its technology through partnerships with major international producers.
