Suvo Strategic Minerals to form JV for low-carbon cement production in Indonesia

10 December 2024

Indonesia: Suvo Strategic Minerals has reached a non-binding agreement to form a joint venture (JV) with PT Huadi Bantaeng Industry Park (PT HBIP) to commercialise and manufacture low-carbon cement and concrete products that contains nickel slag and other byproducts. The JV will produce geopolymer cement and related products in Indonesia.

PT HBIP will supply nickel slag and other raw materials from its stockpiles at Bantaeng Industry Park and provide infrastructure, including land, port facilities and utilities like power and water. Suvo’s subsidiary, Climate Tech Cement, will deliver the low carbon cement formulations.

Aaron Banks, Suvo’s executive chair, said “The formation of this partnership is a key milestone for the company as it adds significant scale for potential future operations. The consumption of Portland cement within the broader region is around 300 - 400Mt/yr. Huadi, in alliance with other smelters, produce around 15Mt/yr of nickel slag. This partnership has the potential to lock in the necessary supply chains and give the company the best chance for success in delivering this low carbon cement to market.”

Banks also confirmed that Suvo has started preliminary offtake discussions for its low carbon cement product with ‘large users’ in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

Leilac and Heidelberg Materials form joint venture for Leilac-2 plant

14 June 2024

Germany: Calix's subsidiary Leilac and Heidelberg Materials have formed a joint venture to build the Leilac-2 low emission cement demonstration plant at Heidelberg's Ennigerloh facility. Construction is set to begin in 2025, with the plant's commissioning scheduled for mid-2026. The Leilac-2 plant will showcase a module capable of capturing up to 100,000t/yr of CO₂ emissions from cement and lime production. Following construction and commissioning, Leilac-2 will be operated for up to three years to test the performance of the technology.

The project benefits from €16m in funding from the EU's Horizons 2020 programme and contributions from partner cement companies. Following construction, Heidelberg Materials may repay Leilac's capital contribution, and the partners will consider a full-scale commercial installation of Leilac technology at a Heidelberg plant. Plans for Leilac-3 envisage a significantly increased capture capacity, potentially capturing 0.5–1Mt/yr of CO₂.

Leilac CEO Daniel Rennie said "The formation of a joint venture with Heidelberg Materials for the Leilac-2 plant marks another important milestone for commercialisation of the Leilac technology. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Heidelberg Materials to demonstrate and deploy cost-effective solutions to decarbonise cement production at commercial scale.”
