Ahmedabad, 2nd December 2024: Ambuja Cements, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, further advances towards its Net Zero goals by leveraging zero-carbon heating technology to decarbonize its cement manufacturing process. The Company has entered into a strategic partnership with Finland-based technology and engineering company ‘Coolbrook’. Ambuja will implement Coolbrook’s proprietary RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) technology to reduce its fossil fuel dependence and carbon emissions significantly.
Mr. Ajay Kapur, CEO – of Cement Business, Adani Group, said, “Our strategic partnership with Coolbrook is exciting as it is a testament to our commitment to Net Zero targets. This move further strengthens our industry leadership in sustainability. We continuously seek out innovations that drive efficiency and decarbonization across our cement manufacturing value chain.

Ambuja Cements’ strong commitment to sustainability and leadership position in renewable energy makes them an ideal partner for us to expand our offerings and drive the global energy transition.”
The RDH technology utilizes mechanical energy to generate high temperatures using green power at highly competitive rates. The process can replace/minimize fossil fuels used to reach high temperatures in cement kiln pre-calciners, crucial for cement manufacturing and multiple other applications. Being a carbon-free process, it can significantly reduce emissions from the use of conventional fuels in a cement plant.
