This $189,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255 - Clean Energy Demonstrations) will support Brimstone Commercial, LLC in constructing and operating a new plant to commercialize a deeply decarbonized process for manufacturing ordinary Portland cement and co-products, including supplementary cementitious materials and smelter-grade alumina. The project will develop a transformative technology that applies a chemical-based process to make cement without process carbon dioxide emissions associated with limestone processing. The new plant's success in demonstrating a pathway for achieving positive unit economics for Brimstone's decarbonized cement production process will de-risk the business model, support net-zero goals, and increase supply resiliency in the cement and aluminum industries. The project is expected to create up to 100 family-sustaining operations jobs and includes plans for workforce development and community engagement initiatives.
