Current industry challenges and status quo

We need to 1) supply 12 New York Cities worth of cement every year for the next 30 years and, 2) bring emissions from cement – currently 8% of global CO2 – to zero.

Today, cement is made in fixed, monolithic, and expensive plants inflexible to change.

opportunity

Decarbonization is here, and it’s Modular.

Furno diverges from the outdated “bigger-is-better” philosophy obeyed by the cement industry. Instead, we take our cue from the steel industry’s shift to mini-mills which enabled these adaptable, nimble foundries to become the dominant technology in steel production. We leverage the low-cost strategy of mini-mills and apply it to the cement industry by building small, efficient and modular cement plants.

technology

First ever modular carbon-neutral technology.

We’re taking a hypothesis driven approach to designing our technology to meet criteria we believe will enable mass-market adoption.

Compact and Modular

<m3

Increased productivity and a smaller size enable a low CAPEX solution to enter and exit high-growth markets quickly and efficiently.

More Energy Efficient

<GJ/t

Less energy per ton of cement at a smaller-scale than today’s large state-of-the-art plants will enable a cost-competitive OPEX.

Regulatory Compliant

OPC

The production of clinker identical in composition and performance to the global standard. This enables us to plug into the cement supply chain.

Path to Zero Emissions

0.0%

A purified modular stream of CO2 enables sale, utilization and/or storage of CO2 without the costs of capture and purification.
