Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, a company dedicated to reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry by designing and marketing clinker-free cements, has announced that it has received Technical Approval (ATEc) for its H-UKR cement. This marks the first-ever technical approval granted to a cement containing 0% clinker.
Following over seven years of research, rigorous testing, collaboration with leading experts, and millions of euros in investment, this approval certifies that H-UKR cement meets the highest durability and safety standards.
The Technical Approval (ATEc), which applies to surface foundation applications in France, demonstrates the performance adequacy of Hoffmann Green’s clinker-free cement.
With its low carbon footprint and clinker-free cold production process, H-UKR cement offers a sustainable, industrial-scale, and ready-to-use solution.
H-UKR meets the growing demand for sustainability and serves as a concrete alternative to the environmental and regulatory challenges facing the sector, such as the RE 2020 Environmental Regulations.
The First Technical Approval for Clinker-Free Cement
Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, stated:
“This technical recognition is a world first, and the result of rigorous work aimed at reinventing a cement industry that has remained unchanged for over two centuries. This Technical Approval attests to the reliability and durability of our approach, while guaranteeing compatibility with the practices of construction specialists. Hoffmann Green is thus positioned as a leader in sustainable construction, able to provide concrete, immediately operational solutions to today’s climatic and industrial challenges.”
Stéphanie Bondoux, Director of Certification, Evaluation and Quality of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, added:
“The achievement of this decisive milestone represents the beginning of an even greater ambition, as we aspire to extend the applications of our 0% cement clinker through a process of continuous innovation, offering solutions adapted to responsible, large-scale industrialized construction. More than ever, we are driven by the conviction of building a sustainable future, combining performance, respect for the environment and industrial excellence.”
