Adani's Ambuja Cements partners with UK's Leilac to build commercial low carbon cement plant

Adani Group's Ambuja Cements has partnered with UK-based Leilac to develop a commercial-scale low carbon cement facility. The collaboration will use Leilac's technology to capture CO2 emissions directly from the cement production process, aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of one of the world's most emissions-intensive industries. The project is significant because cement production accounts for roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions. If this partnership succeeds at commercial scale, it could provide a blueprint for other Indian cement makers to follow. No specific timeline or capacity figures were given in the announcement, which is a detail worth watching as the project develops.
