Fortera and Mississippi Lime Company have signed an agreement to develop a commercial facility producing over 300,000 tonnes of low-carbon ReAct cement annually. The plant will use Fortera's ReCarb technology to capture industrial CO₂ emissions from MLC's lime production and convert them directly into cement. Fortera's ReAct cement, which is nearly 50% captured CO₂ by weight, complies with ASTM standards and can be used standalone or blended with ordinary Portland cement. The company operates a 15,000-tonne-per-year facility in Redding, California, and claims its technology can produce cement at cost parity with portland cement whilst cutting CO₂ emissions by 70%. The project will add domestic cement production capacity in the US, where imports currently account for roughly a quarter of annual consumption.

Fortera, a cement manufacturer, has appointed Albert Luu as chief financial officer to support its transition to commercial-scale deployment. Scott Healy, who served as CFO since December 2022, has moved to the newly created role of chief origination officer. Luu brings over 20 years of experience in capital markets and finance across energy and hardtech sectors. He previously led finance at Heirloom and was an early finance hire at SolarCity, helping pioneer capital markets infrastructure for residential solar. Throughout his career, he has raised more than $10 billion in capital. Fortera operates a 15,000-tonne-per-year facility in California and is developing a 300,000-tonne-per-year commercial plant. Its ReAct low-carbon cement is the first single product to meet all six ASTM C1157 performance categories. Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund has made a strategic investment in the company.
