Fives, NOC Energy hit milestones in electrified clay calcination to cut cement emissions

• Fives SAS reported two milestones in a program to decarbonize cement manufacturing through electrified clay calcination.
• Tests at its pilot calcination facility near Lille showed NOC Energy’s NOC Cell technology could continuously produce a stable hot gas stream above 1,000°C using 100% electrical energy.
• The campaign also produced high-quality calcined clay comparable to output from conventional natural gas firing.
• The companies framed the results as a step toward large-scale electrification of calcined clay production to cut cement-related emissions.
