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.

alumina

Alumina is a critical component of aluminum, an essential metal for national security and economic growth. Today, the U.S. relies almost entirely on imports, exposing the market to price shocks and security risks.
