The agreement, formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), represents another decisive step in TITAN Group’s commitment to accelerating the transition to more sustainable construction materials in Europe and globally.
The meca® clay technology enables the use of Alternative Cementitious Materials (ACMs), which can partially replace clinker, the main ingredient of cement and a primary source of CO₂ emissions during its production.
This approach reduces both emissions and energy consumption, without compromising the quality or performance of the final product. TITAN Group will implement this technology for the first time at its Patras plant, where the Group’s new Advanced Technology Center is being developed.
Pilot applications are scheduled for 2026, with gradual rollout planned in the following years. The goal is to produce low-emission cement with a clinker-to-cement ratio below 40%, compared to 93% in traditional Portland cement, further strengthening the Group’s green product portfolio.
"This initiative is a fundamental part of our strategy to establish the Advanced Technology Center in Patras—a modern hub of innovation that will accelerate and strengthen our CO₂ reduction initiatives, advanced industrial production, and technological advancement. Our collaboration with thyssenkrupp Polysius reinforces our efforts to decarbonize cement production towards a sustainable, low-carbon future," said Samir Cairae, Chief Technology Officer of TITAN Group.
"Our collaboration with TITAN is a strong confirmation that the demand for solutions like meca® clay is not theoretical, but comes from leading producers already pursuing decarbonization at an industrial scale," stated Dr. Björn Olaf Assmann, Head of Innovation at thyssenkrupp Polysius.
"meca® clay activates a previously untapped lever for decarbonization at a critical stage of the production process. This partnership demonstrates how quickly the technology is transitioning from pilot projects to real industrial applications."
By combining TITAN Group’s global experience and expertise with the technological excellence of thyssenkrupp Polysius, the two partners aim to accelerate the development of the next generation of low-clinker materials for the European and U.S. markets, contributing to greener cities and sustainable infrastructure.
This collaboration aligns fully with TITAN Group’s strategy to achieve net-zero concrete emissions by 2050, in line with global climate objectives.
