Two construction companies, Synhelion and Cemex, have embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration to revolutionize cement production by harnessing the sun's power, one of the most energy-intensive processes in the industrial world. . August 3, 2023 – Cemex and Synhelion announced today a significant milestone in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production: the scaling of their technology to industrially-viable levels. As global carbon emissions continue to be a pressing concern, the. . Cemex and Synhelion report prospective scaling of a high-temperature process to industrially-viable levels, where solar energy supplants fossil fuel combustion. This includes the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement. . One-third of CO2-identified as the key process for high temperature solar heat integration. Inspenet, August 7, 2023. Synhelion and Cemex have achieved a remarkable achievement in their. .
