Other financial info
RECODE: Funded by the European Union, the RECODE project focused on capturing and utilizing carbon dioxide and converting it into value-added chemicals and materials to produce better cementitious products, thus using less energy and lowering CO2 emissions. This new technology was piloted at TITAN’s Kamari plant in Greece, which became the first cement plant in Southeastern Europe to demonstrate carbon capture and utilization. TITAN’s team worked closely with its partners in RECODE to achieve high CO2 purity in the capture stream and to use the converted products to make low-carbon ready-mixed concrete. While the RECODE project was completed in 2022, TITAN will continue to use the capture unit to evaluate innovative CO2-absorbing materials. For its contribution to the success of the RECODE project, TITAN was recognized as a key innovator by the European Commission in its Innovation Radar.
CARMOF: Design and build a pilot-scale unit for post-combustion CO2 capture, customized for cement, petrol and steel industry. The unit will be based on novel materials (Metal organic frameworks & Carbon Nanotubes), supported on high packed density & low pressure drop structures prepared with 3D printing technologies. The project will result in a pilot-scale demonstration at TITAN plant (Kamari - TBC), aiming to treat 250 m3 of CO2 per day.
