Cemvision near-zero emission cement

Vattenfall wants to help secure fossil-free materials for its component suppliers, signalling market readiness and accelerating innovation. Vattenfall also acts as a testbed for emerging technologies – one example being our partnership with Cemvision to enable large-scale use of near-zero emission cement in energy infrastructure.

By using recycled materials and fossil-free electricity, Cemvision's technology can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 95% compared to conventional cement.

As part of the collaboration, Vattenfall is supporting the development and testing of this new material in our concrete lab in Älvkarleby, with plans to use it in wind turbine foundations and other components across the energy value chain. This initiative will eventually include suppliers who procure the cement used by Vattenfall, helping to advance the development of near-zero cement.

A step towards fossil-free construction

As a member of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), Vattenfall has committed to ensuring that at least 10% of our cement and concrete purchases are near-zero emission by 2030. The partnership with Cemvision supports that goal while helping to build market demand for fossil-free solutions in the construction sector.

By combining Cemvision's material innovation with Vattenfall's energy expertise and active role throughout the supply chain, this collaboration marks a tangible step forward on the journey towards fossil freedom.
