Strategic collaboration between TITAN Group and Carbon Upcycling

TITAN Group and Carbon Upcycling Technologies Inc., a pioneering start-up in the utilization of carbon emissions and industrial waste, have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to jointly examine how Carbon Upcycling's innovative technology can be commercially exploited.

The aim is to produce building materials with lower carbon emissions, using local raw materials. This collaboration builds on Titan’s previous investment in Carbon Upcycling and confirms both companies’ commitment to accelerating the transition of the building materials industry towards a more sustainable, green future. 

Under the Memorandum of Understanding, Carbon Upcycling will conduct studies at two TITAN Group plants, with the aim of leveraging its innovative technology for the production of new, environmentally friendly materials. The technology is based on the reuse of CO₂ emissions, combined with natural, locally available materials, to create complementary cementitious materials - i.e. materials used as part of the cement composition to enhance its properties and reduce its environmental footprint. These materials will have high performance and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. 

“Our partnership with Carbon Upcycling is evolving from a simple investment to an active participation in the development and testing of its technology. Our goal is to enhance the production of innovative and efficient cementitious solutions, in line with Titan’s Green Growth Strategy for 2026,” said Leonidas Kanellopoulos, Group Chief Sustainability and Innovation Officer. “This initiative demonstrates the importance of local production and how low-carbon solutions can be integrated into key industrial processes. Through this partnership, TITAN and Carbon Upcycling demonstrate that strategic partnerships can bring real progress to the conhttp://capital.grstruction industry.”  

“Our partnership with TITAN Group is a prime example of the collaboration needed to move the global cement industry towards a circular, low-carbon future,” said Apoorv Sinha, CEO of Carbon Upcycling. “Around the world, production and distribution chains are becoming increasingly complex. Carbon Upcycling is meeting this challenge by accelerating the local production of key cement materials so we can continue to build what really matters.” 

Carbon Upcycling’s pilot plant is currently operating in Western Canada with CO2-enhanced cement products already being used in commercial applications. The company is now developing its flagship commercial-scale plant in Eastern Canada. 

TITAN Group has set validated targets for reducing CO₂ Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, under the Science Based Targets (SBTi) initiative, with the ultimate goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Its roadmap includes specific actions to reduce the carbon footprint of both its operations and products.

At the same time, the Group seeks to double sales of low-carbon products by 2026, compared to 2022. Learn more about TITAN Group’s commitment to a carbon neutral footprint: www.titanmaterials.com/net-zero
