Ambuja Cements Adopts Coolbrook’s Zero-Carbon RDH Technology

For achieving Net Zero emissions, Ambuja Cements has announced a strategic partnership with Finnish technology and engineering company, Coolbrook. The collaboration marks an important milestone in decarbonising cement manufacturing, leveraging Coolbrook’s cutting-edge RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) technology.

The RDH technology represents a groundbreaking innovation in industrial heating systems. Using mechanical energy powered by renewable electricity, the technology generates high temperatures required in cement manufacturing without relying on fossil fuels. This carbon-free process is designed to replace or significantly minimise conventional fuel usage in cement kiln pre-calciners—key to the cement production process. By implementing RDH technology, Ambuja Cements aims to not only reduce its carbon footprint but also set a benchmark for sustainable practices in the Indian cement industry. The adoption of this proprietary technology aligns with the company’s broader commitment to environmental sustainability and achieving its Net Zero targets.

Ambuja Cements views this collaboration as a game-changing step in transforming its production processes. With RDH’s ability to deliver high temperatures at competitive costs through green energy, it is positioned to drive efficiency while ensuring substantial reductions in carbon emissions. Commenting on the partnership, an Ambuja Cements spokesperson highlighted the company’s vision of pioneering sustainable practices. “Our commitment to innovation and sustainability is at the core of this collaboration. With Coolbrook’s RDH technology, we are confident of taking a giant leap towards achieving a carbon-neutral future,” they stated. This partnership underlines the growing emphasis on decarbonising industries as part of global climate goals. With India’s cement industry contributing significantly to carbon emissions, such initiatives are crucial for ensuring long-term environmental and industrial sustainability.
