ECO Materials Technologies that produce cement replacement products, some of which consist of flight bags from former coal-powered companies, opens the new Lakeview production plant in South Oregon.
This is the first “green cement” based in Ash in the company in the northwest of Pacific. Eco Materials also works in New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.
The Lakeview facility in Oregon is designed in such a way that it produces up to 300,000 tons of cement substitutes with up to 300,000 tons. The decarbonization work includes carbon -rich flight ash and replaces 25 to 100% of the conventional and carbon -intensive portal cement in concrete mixtures.
“The opening of the Lakeview plant shows our commitment to sustainable innovations and marks a significant step forward when expanding access to alternatives with low -carbohydrate cement with carbohydrate -like way,” said Grant Quasha, CEO of ECO Materials Technologies. “We are enthusiastic to operate the northwest of the Pacific northwest with economically competitive products that support the growth of the infrastructure and at the same time reduce carbon emissions.”
The Lakeview system is located next to the Lake County freight line to switch on raw materials and get products out, with about 75% of the programs being distributed over the rail. Around 30 employees will also permanently employ in the eco -material institution.
“This facility is more than just a new work – it is a strong investment in the future of Lake County,” said Mark Albertson, Commissioner of Lake County. “By combining progressive, low -carbon building materials with local workplace and infrastructure development, ECO Materials Technologies brings both economic vitality and ecological responsibility for our community.
Eco Materials Technologies has been operating a green cement plant in Jewett, Texas, and produced more than a million tons of cement substitute material during this time.
The company recently opened a railway terminal in Queens, New York to provide harvested products on the flight ash on the subway market in New York. A large part of the flight ash is taken from the ECO Materials' harvest projects, including the establishment of Danville, Pennsylvania. The distance includes more than 150,000 tons of coal waste from power plants.
The decarbonization of the cement sector could help to eliminate emissions from concrete production, which, according to various reports, make up 7% to 9% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
