A California Nevada Cement Association (CNCA) roadmap envisions three major pathways for the industry to attain net zero carbon operation by 2045: reducing production process emissions, reducing combustion emissions through fuel switching, and increasing distributed electricity generation. With 11.8 million metric tons’ clinker and 11.45 million metric tons’ grinding capacity in California (per USGS 2017 data), CNCA members can reach the benchmark by offsetting 7.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions attributable to kiln and milling process.
Last month’s release of the industry-wide document, notes Executive Director Tom Tietz, marked “an exciting and critical step toward carbon neutrality. However, we cannot get to net zero alone and this roadmap is also an invitation for state leaders, environmental groups and stakeholders throughout the cement-concrete-construction value chain to collaborate on pursuing this bold goal.” Many of the technologies, fuels, mater

Seebo has announced its extended Series B financing round, for a total of US$24 million. The funding will be used to further expand its global reach and continue enhancing its process-based artificial intelligence solution. The round is led by Vertex Ventures with participation from 10D, The Phoenix and Leumi Partners.
Cement manufacturers suffer, on average, millions of dollars of losses each year due to various process-driven inefficiencies such as kiln throughputs, emissions, clinker quality and ammonia usage. Seebo’s process-based artificial intelligence solution enables cement manufacturers to identify process-driven inefficiencies in their production processes in order to predict and prevent production losses. Seebo succeeded in infusing artificial intelligence algorithms with deep process manufacturing expertise – giving its solution the ability to understand each individual production process. This saves its customers significant funds each year, by reveal
