Concrete Chemicals

Sustainable solution for climate-neutral flying

The innovative lighthouse project Concrete Chemicals is considered a milestone in the decarbonisation of aviation. Together with our project partners - the global building materials manufacturer CEMEX and Zaffra, a leader in the development and application of Fischer-Tropsch technology - we are paving the way towards more climate-friendly aviation by converting CO2 and green hydrogen into synthetic aviation fuel (SAF = Sustainable Aviation Fuel).

The EU has set itself ambitious targets to meet the challenges of climate change: Politicians and industry are aiming for a climate-neutral economy by 2050. As part of the cement industry, CEMEX is also pursuing the ambitious goal of reducing its CO2 emissions and becoming climate-neutral by 2050 at the latest.

Rüdersdorf
Project partner CEMEX 

The cement plant in Rüdersdorf is one of the most efficient plants in Europe. Not least for this reason, the global building materials manufacturer CEMEX has chosen this location to test and promote innovative technologies to achieve climate neutrality. The technological findings from the Rüdersdorf ‘Carbon Neutral Alliance’ are to be gradually applied in all CEMEX cement plants and adapted to the respective local conditions in order to accelerate the achievement of climate targets by decarbonising the entire cement production process. CEMEX has set itself the goal of transforming the plant in Rüdersdorf into the first climate-neutral cement plant by 2030. 

Project partner Zaffra 

Zaffra is a joint venture between Sasol and Topsoe that is driving forward the production of sustainable aviation fuels.  Zaffra's aim is to accelerate the decarbonisation of the aviation sector.

"We have developed our knowledge in the areas of sector coupling and hydrogen production not only through our experience of operating our electrolysis plant for several years, but also through active participation in several research and innovation projects. Now we are bringing this knowledge to drive the energy transition in sectors that are difficult to decarbonise and help build a market for green hydrogen."
