Vattenfall has reached a commercial agreement with Swedish materials firm Cemvision to supply near-zero-carbon cement for its onshore wind projects across Europe starting in 2028, the companies said on Wednesday.
Cemvision’s Re-ment Massive product will be prioritised for use by subcontractors working on Vattenfall sites. The partners said the material could reduce CO₂ output by as much as 95%, with deliveries coming from Cemvision’s first industrial-scale production facility. The deal follows a 2024 Letter of Intent between the two companies.
“This agreement with Cemvision is accelerating a key market in the net-zero transition, and we’re proud to contribute to that shift,” said Ulrika Ritzen, head of onshore wind at Vattenfall. “For Vattenfall, it means reducing carbon emissions from wind farms across Europe while optimising the economics of our projects. This collaboration strengthens our competitiveness and supports our long-term sustainability goals.”
Cemvision chief executive Oscar Hallen said the commitment marks a significant moment in scaling low-emission cement. “This long-term agreement for the supply of our near-zero cement is a foundational step in transforming the cement market, and we are proud to take the partnership with Vattenfall to the next level,” he said. “Our cement is one of the most cost-efficient ways to decarbonize construction. Moving from pilot to commercial action is how the transition becomes real.”
Vattenfall said the agreement advances its pledge that 10% of its cement and concrete procurement will be near-zero-emission by 2030 and could help the company reach at least 20% near-zero purchases by 2028. It added that the arrangement also supports its target to cut supply-chain emissions by half before the end of the decade.
