CalPortland, a leading cement and concrete company in the United States, has recently signed a technology licensing agreement with Solidia Technologies. This agreement grants CalPortland the rights to use Solidia’s patents, which have the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of cement and concrete by up to 50%. The limited rights granted in the agreement will enable CalPortland to develop low carbon solutions using Solidia’s technology.

In addition to the technology licensing, CalPortland has also acquired certain laboratory and plant assets from Solidia. This acquisition is seen as a significant step forward in advancing environmentally friendly solutions in the construction industry.

The CEO of Solidia Technologies, Russell Hill, expressed his excitement about the partnership with CalPortland. He highlighted CalPortland’s strong commitment to decarbonization in the cement and concrete industries, which aligns well with the goals of Solidia. Hill mentioned that CalPortland’s dedication to sustainability makes them an ideal partner to further the research and development efforts that Solidia has been working on for over a decade.

“CalPortland is a leader in their industry and we are thrilled to partner with them on this important initiative,” said Hill. “Together, we can help drive innovation and bring more sustainable solutions to market.”

This collaboration is seen as a significant milestone in advancing environmentally friendly solutions in the construction industry. As more companies look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, partnerships like this one between Solidia and CalPortland are essential in driving change and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
