Ambuja Cements has taken a significant step toward achieving its Net Zero targets by collaborating with Finland-based Coolbrook to implement its innovative RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) technology.

This cutting-edge, zero-carbon heating solution, powered entirely by renewable electricity, is designed to replace conventional fossil fuels in pre-calciner kilns. By leveraging this technology, Ambuja aims to drastically reduce its carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels, aligning with its commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.

Ajay Kapur, CEO of Cement Business at AdGroup, emphasized the strategic importance of this partnership, stating, “Leveraging Adani Group's green power capabilities, we are driving decarbonization across our cement value chain while delivering value to stakeholders.”

Coolbrook CEO Joonas Rauramo hailed the collaboration as a major step forward in revolutionizing heavy industries with sustainable electrification.

The partnership aligns with Ambuja Cements' goal to achieve 60% green power usage and increase its reliance on Alternative Fuels and Raw Materials (AFR) to 28% by 2028, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable manufacturing.

With the adoption of RDH technology, Ambuja Cements continues to set benchmarks in advancing the global energy transition while addressing the challenges of climate change.
