Ambuja partners with Coolbrook for zero-carbon cement manufacturing

Ambuja Cements collaborates with Coolbrook to use zero-carbon RotoDynamic Heater™ technology, achieving their Net Zero aspirations through renewable energy innovation.

Ambuja Cements is taking a step towards reaching its Net Zero objectives. The company is working with Finland-based technology leader Coolbrook to install their proprietary RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) technology. According to the exchange filing, this cutting-edge, zero-carbon heating system, powered by renewable electricity, will significantly reduce the company’s reliance on fossil fuels and carbon emissions, in line with its sustainability goals. Ambuja Cements will considerably reduce its reliance on fossil fuels by using renewable electricity to heat its processes at high temperatures without emitting any carbon.

Ajay Kapur, CEO, Cement Business, Adani Group, says, “Our strategic partnership with Coolbrook is exciting as it is a testament to our commitment to Net Zero targets. This move further strengthens our industry leadership in sustainability.” He adds, “We continuously seek out innovations that drive efficiency and decarbonisation across our cement manufacturing value chain. Leveraging our Adani Group’s green power generation capabilities, we will be able to reduce fossil fuel dependence, costs, and emissions, ultimately delivering the best value for our stakeholders.” This technology strengthens Ambuja Cements’ market leadership in promoting decarbonisation across the cement manufacturing process.

Joonas Rauramo, CEO, Coolbrook, states, “This partnership is a major step forward for Coolbrook as we aim to revolutionise heavy industries with our innovative electrification technology. Ambuja Cements’ strong commitment to sustainability and leadership position in renewable energy makes them an ideal partner for us to expand our offerings and drive the global energy transition.”

The RotoDynamic Heater™ technology harnesses mechanical energy to achieve high temperatures for cement manufacturing, substituting traditional fossil fuels in pre-calciner kilns. This carbon-free technology, which runs solely on renewable electricity, is poised to revolutionise the way heavy industries achieve high-temperature heating.

By 2028, the corporation wants to employ 28 percent Alternative Fuels and Raw Materials (AFR) and 60 percent green power. These efforts are part of Ambuja’s larger aim of driving decarbonisation throughout its value chain while maintaining operational excellence.
