Cambridge Electric Cement (CEC), a sustainable cement startup, has raised GBP 2.25 million (~USD 2.87 million) in a seed funding round led by Zero Carbon Capital, alongside existing investor Legal & General, Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Parkwalk Advisors, Delph25, and Almanac Ventures.
The funds will support the industrialization of CEC’s sustainable cement, which uses electric arc furnaces to reactivate recovered concrete waste made into a cement paste. CEC claims its approach curtails energy consumption and reduces emissions associated with traditional cement production calcination processes.
CEC is a spinoff from the University of Cambridge, founded in 2022 to focus on commercializing low-carbon cement research. CEC and its industry partner network collaborate on the "Cement 2 Zero" industrial demonstrator project to certify and commercialize the solution initially in low-risk, non-structural construction applications.
