Ambuja Cements enters into a strategic partnership with Finland-based Coolbrook to implement its proprietary RotoDynamic Heater technology

Ambuja Cements, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio claims that it advances towards its net zero goals by leveraging zero-carbon heating technology to decarbonise 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 significantly reduce its fossil fuel dependence and carbon emissions.

Ajay Kapur, CEO – 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 which drive efficiency and decarbonisation across our cement manufacturing value chain. Leveraging our Adani Group’s green power generation capabilities, we will be able to reduce fossil fuel dependence, costs, and emissions, ultimately delivering the best value for our stakeholders.”

The RDH technology utilises mechanical energy to generate high temperature using green power at highly competitive rates. The process can replace / minimise fossil fuels used for reaching high temperatures in cement kiln pre-calciner, 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.

Joonas Rauramo, CEO – Coolbrook, stated, “This partnership is a major step forward for Coolbrook as we aim to revolutionise heavy industries with our innovative electrification technology. 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.”

Ambuja Cements said that it continues to remain steadfast in its innovation-based pursuit of operational excellence, driving sustainability in all areas of its operations.
