Perspectives Across the Supply Chain



“The Ste. Genevieve plant marks a new era for American cement production, one where technology turns emissions into a high-quality product the market needs while creating lasting local jobs. Building alongside the largest lime operation in the Americas lets us turn an existing emissions stream into hundreds of thousands of tons of cement to meet demand that already exists.”

Ryan Gilliam, PhDCEO & Co-Founder of Fortera

“While MLC has reduced our carbon footprint by 8% since 2022, and I am proud of that progress, current technologies will only take us so far. Lime producers need practical solutions to capture calcination emissions. Fortera has developed an innovative approach that not only reduces the amount of carbon we release — it also turns it into a valuable product.”

Paul HoganCEO of MLC

“Scaling the next generation of cement requires more than innovative technology; it requires strong partnerships across our industry. Fortera’s ongoing work with Ozinga represents the kind of collaboration needed to bring lower-carbon cement solutions to commercial scale while strengthening domestic manufacturing and ensuring we can continue to deliver the performance and reliability our customers expect.”
