Exeed Industries has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Partanna Oasis, a subsidiary of Partanna, an innovator in sustainable building materials. This collaborative agreement aims to introduce carbon-negative cement technologies to the UAE, marking a significant step towards addressing climate change concerns.
The MoU underscores a shared objective to evaluate and plan for the establishment of facilities in Abu Dhabi to locally manufacture Partanna's next-generation of cement alternatives. Both parties will devise a strategic plan for the establishment of a brine conversion facility, a tolling facility, and a cement production plant, thereby facilitating the commercialisation of Partanna's products within the United Arab Emirates.
Partanna's innovative carbon-negative building materials, crafted without the conventional Portland cement, not only mitigate carbon emissions but actively contribute to the removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere, presenting a solution for sustainable construction. It's worth noting that traditional Portland cement is responsible for a significant portion of global CO₂ emissions, accounting for 9%. Partanna's innovative technology transforms developments into vital carbon removal assets. said a statement.
'We are excited to join forces with Partanna to champion green innovation in construction,' said Mohammad Alameer, Group CEO at Exeed Industries. 'This partnership aligns perfectly with our sustainability objectives and the UAE's industrial decarbonisation goals.'
'This is an important milestone in our mission to scale global access to climate-positive construction materials,' added Rick Fox, CEO of Partanna. 'The UAE is a strategic market and global leader in sustainable construction, and Exeed's deep industrial expertise makes them a match winning partner.'
As part of this collaborative effort, both parties will collaborate on certification processes, performance testing, and regulatory framework alignment. The scope of the project also includes evaluating applications across the UAE's construction sector and integrating them into Exeed's precast and concrete operations. The MoU reinforces both companies' commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long term value creation.
