Cambridge Electric Cement

The University of Cambridge spin-out is working with its established industry partner network – AtkinsRéalis, Balfour Beatty, CELSA UK, Day Group, Materials Processing Institute, and Tarmac – on the ‘Cement 2 Zero’ industrial demonstrator project to certify and commercialise the product initially in low-risk, non-structural construction applications.

The company raised £2.25m seed funding in July 2024 in a round led by Zero Carbon Capital, alongside existing investor Legal & General, Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Parkwalk Advisors, Delph25, and Almanac Ventures.

CEC was founded in 2022 to commercialise low carbon cement research by academic co-founders Professor Julian Allwood, Dr. Cyrille Dunant, and Dr. Pippa Horton.
