industry-standard materials
We co-produce three products—ASTM C150 portland cement, SCM, and smelter grade alumina—from common, domestically sourced feedstocks.
cost-competitive at scale
At industrial scale, our business model will allow us to sell three essential products at competitive market prices, enabling future expansion and exports.
optimized for sustainability
Our deeply decarbonized process dramatically reduces the climate impact of cement and alumina manufacturing, sectors responsible for about 8% of global carbon emissions.
