🌱Our Cement and Concrete Customers - The Real Heroes of the #Decarbonization Last week, we announced our successful funding round of over 10 million dollars. As a team, we were delighted and motivated to receive so many congratulations. Thank you all. Another highlight: the major German business newspaper Handelsblatt devoted significant print and online attention to us and our activities in the cement and concrete industry. In the hustle and bustle of all the attention, both nationally and internationally, we want to pause for a moment and set the focus on one crucial thing: without our customers, this milestone would not be possible at all. Of course, we provide an important software solution, but ultimately, our cement and ready-mix concrete customers are working on decarbonization every day. They are reducing the clinker factor, researching new recipes, developing new green technologies, and driving the topic forward at an incredible pace. They are the real #decarbonizationheroes of this story - this hugely important industry that produces the most essential building material of humankind and the foundation of our civilization. The entire alcemy team, along with Leopold Spenner and Robert Meyer, would like to thank all our amazing customers who believe in us and work together with us in partnership. We will invest the 10 million dollars to further optimize our products and create even more additional value. 👉🏻 Click here for the article: https://lnkd.in/env_QGSa

🎉 It's #AssociateMemberMonday! PCA Associate Member alcemy is hosting a webinar July 22 at 8 CDT on one of the key considerations for decarbonizing the cement and concrete industry – the clinker factor. Many manufacturers have already launched new clinker-efficient cements, such as German producer Spenner. Spenner recently received national technical approval for a new portland-limestone slag cement (project title: CEM X) that offers clinker content of only 30%, alongside 33% blast furnace slag, and a substantial 37% limestone filler. The webinar will take an in-depth look at numerous questions relating to clinker efficiency: How did the approval process work, and what were the necessary steps in Germany? Why did Spenner decide to develop a CEM X? What can we learn about the production of concretes with w/c-ratios around 0.40?

🔥 Meet the alcemy team As a growing company, our teams are in a constant flow of change with new members onboarding all around the year. Some have been at alcemy for quite a while, and some joined alcemy’s mission basically from the start. One of those early team members we would like to introduce to you is our principal product manager David Müßig, who has alcemy’s mission running in his veins for quite some years. After graduating from Freie Universität Berlin with his Masters degree in Mathematics, David worked in the field of supply planning at FlixBus. Here he found a passion for product management and paved his way into the cement and concrete world, as his colleague at FlixBus, our Co-Founder Robert Meyer, sparked his interest to join alcemy. Driven by his motivation to create a livable future for his two daughters, it was a perfect match to combine his passion for developing enjoyable digital solutions with alcemy’s mission to decarbonize the cement and concrete industry. Being a DIY enthusiast, David's practical mindset benefits his professional life, where he enjoys working closely with our customers all over Europe to find solutions for our concrete product. Working at alcemy offers the possibility to shape his job and adapt to the new reality of work, including home office and flexible working hours. At the same time, we can combat climate change by reducing CO2 emissions and ensure a better future for our planet. Being able to combine your passion and convictions with a work you like is a desire David managed to fulfill, and we are proud to have him as our passionate product manager on the team. 👉🏼 Interested in using your talents to make a change in the cement and concrete world?

💡 Innovation braucht Partnerschaft: Nachhaltiger Beton x EDGE Friedrichspark Partnerschaften und Netzwerke zu bilden, sind beim Thema Nachhaltigkeit enorm wichtig. Um neue Innovationen in die Praxis zu bringen, braucht es den Pioniergeist und das Commitment aller Beteiligten - alle müssen an Bord sein, alle müssen am gleichen Strang ziehen. Ein solche einzigartige Partnerschaft ist uns beim Edge Friedrichspark gelungen. Dort hatten wir gestern in einem tollen Pressegespräch und einer anschließenden Begehung die Möglichkeit das Projekt und den Einsatz eines radikal klinkerreduzierten Betons (CEM X) der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. Mittlerweile ist schon eine signifikante Betonmenge eingebaut worden. Insgesamt werden es am Ende ca. 12.000 m3 CEM X sein - ein absolutes Novum und eine wirklich beeindruckende Leistung. Wir von alcemy verstehen uns als Brückenbauer zwischen den Interessen, aber ohne die Bereitschaft der Partner wäre dieses Projekt niemals gestartet. 🙏 Zuallererst sind hier unser Kunden Spenner Herkules GmbH & Co. KG und Spenner Zement GmbH & Co. KG zu nennen. Ihr Fokus auf die Zulassung des CEM X hat diesen Meilenstein erst möglich gemacht. Ihr Offenheit und Motivation haben den Einsatz maßgeblich ermöglicht. Vielen Dank stellvertretend an Martin Franzke, Georg Weber, Thomas Schuster und Team. 🙏 Ein weiterer Dank gilt natürlich EDGE Technologies - ein Projektentwickler, der den Claim "The world needs better buildings" wirklich verinnerlicht hat. Ein Unternehmen, dass direkt Feuer und Flamme für das Projekt und den Einsatz des CEM X war. Danke hier an Dr. Andreas Muschter FRICS, Hans Hanschke, Daniil Pinyagin, Julian Schoeme und Team. 🙏 Natürlich darf in dieser Aufzählung ZÜBLIN als essentieller Partner nicht fehlen. Die Baustelle ist entscheidend für den erfolgreichen Einbau des anspruchsvollen und CO2-reduzierten CEM X - hier bestand von Anfang an die Leidenschaft und auch das Durchhaltevermögen das Thema anzugehen und auch bei Herausforderungen nicht klein beizugeben. Danke Zoltán Szabó, Kristina Sievers und Co. 🙏 Zum Schluss auch noch ein Dank an das tolle Netzwerk solid UNIT e.V. für die Unterstützung und den konsequenten Einsatz für nachhaltige Baustoffe im Massivbau. Danke Thomas Zawalski, Wiebke Zuschlag, Kristine Hebenstreit und Klimabeirat Dr. Tillman Prinz, M.A. Das ist erst der Anfang. Lasst uns alle gemeinsam nachhaltige Betone in die Bauprojekte bringen!

alcemy | Carbon Herald 💡 We are thrilled to announce that we were featured in a article published by Carbon Herald last week. The decarbonization of the cement and concrete industry is gaining momentum and low carbon cements, like the clinkerefficient CEM X we developed together with our customer Spenner Zement GmbH & Co. KG, will play a crucial role in that transformation. It was an innovative breakthrough and milestone to achieve a cement with under 30% clinker, without compromising on quality or cost. We are thankful to work on the topic of decarbonization together with our customers who want to make a change and are proud our mission is being recognized in US. 👉🏼 For the full article, check out the following link https://lnkd.in/ep_U_ENv
