Alcemy
Alcemy has created a new type of cement and concrete production, and they’ve done it cheaper, with less CO2 and consistently high quality.
Concrete is the backbone of our civilization. Demand is growing to match an increasingly urbanized population. However, concrete is also also responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. Companies producing concrete face significant challenges producing consistent and sustainable product, due to varying degrees of manufacturing quality.
With Alcemy’s AI software, production quality can be predictively controlled, increasing the uniformity of cement and concrete. It also simplifies work in the laboratory and control room, and reduces production costs. Alchemy’s work sets the course for a progressive reduction in the CO2 footprint and significantly simplifies the handling of even the most complex mixtures.
