Ambuja Cements partners with UK's Leilac to build low-carbon cement plant in Gujarat's Kutch

Ambuja Cements has partnered with UK-based Leilac Ltd to build a low-carbon cement project in Gujarat's Kutch district. The project aims to reduce carbon emissions from cement production, a major industrial source of CO2. Leilac's technology captures CO2 during the calcination process, potentially cutting emissions significantly compared to conventional methods. The partnership marks a step toward decarbonizing the cement sector in India. If successful, it could serve as a model for other cement manufacturers looking to lower their carbon footprint. The project's location in Kutch leverages local limestone resources while addressing environmental goals. Details on capacity, timeline, and investment are not yet fully disclosed. Observers will watch for concrete milestones and cost data to assess the project's viability and scalability.
