France: Saint-Gobain subsidiary Point.P will begin to produce 20,000t/yr of cement-free concrete blocks at its plant in Hauts-de-France in early 2026. The blocks will employ Canada-based CarbiCrete’s CO2-sequestering supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) technology. Production is set to double to 40,000t/yr from 2027. The development marks CarbiCrete’s first move into the French market.
CarbiCrete CEO Jacob Homiller said "We see Point.P, with their commitment to sustainable housing, as the ideal partner for scaling our technology. This major milestone paves the way for wider adoption of the CarbiCrete process in Europe and beyond."
Point.P Managing Director Nicolas Godet said that cement-free concrete construction is ‘No longer a laboratory concept, but a tangible, reliable and scalable solution for decarbonising construction.’
