Fortera ReCarb Plants

In today’s cement and concrete ecosystem, embodied carbon from cement production accounts for a significant share of global CO₂ emissions. Fortera ReCarb Plants showcase a paradigm shift: instead of releasing CO₂, we capture it from kiln exhaust and mineralize it into cementitious material, converting what was a waste stream into ReAct low-CO₂ cement. This isn’t incremental: it’s foundational.


Technology, enables progress: ReCarb technology enables this progress by producing cement with 70% lower carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions compared to ordinary portland cement (OPC), while maintaining near-term cost parity and performance standards.
Turnkey, bolt-on solution: Designed to “bolt-on” to existing cement and lime plant infrastructure, reducing CAPEX and leveraging existing scale. No disruption with operating infrastructure.
Custom engineering: Each Fortera ReCarb plant is tailored to our partners plant requirements, feedstocks, and local market demand.
ReAct® low-CO₂ product portfolio: ReAct Blend, engineered to work with cement to improve early strength and flow and ReAct® Cement, a standalone cement replacement.
Quality assured: With ISO 9001 certification (Fortera Redding ReCarb Plant), partners can trust that ReAct® meets high standards of consistency, performance, and traceability.

1. Raw Lime Silo

Raw lime feedstock is stored.

2. Dissolution Reactor

Lime is dissolved. Use of proprietary solvent.

3. CO2 Absorber

Carbonation process. Precipitation formed. Reactive Calcium Carbonate 
(ReAct®) produced.

4. Clarifier

Slurry pumped in tangentially. Solids separate through gravity.

5. Filter Press

Mechanical plates press out liquid. Solid cake is separated and ejected at the bottom.

6. Dryer

Product cake is broken up with rotating blades. Hot gas dries product into powder.

7. ReAct Product Silo

Final product is stored in preparation for shipment.
