Adani Cement and Coolbrook have announced the world’s first commercial deployment of Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) technology at the Boyareddypalli Integrated Cement Plant in Andhra Pradesh. This milestone marks the beginning of industrial-scale electrification in cement manufacturing, advancing Adani Cement’s net-zero goals by 2050 and Coolbrook’s mission to decarbonise heavy industry globally.
The RDH™ system will decarbonise the calcination phase, the most fossil fuel-intensive stage of cement production, by delivering clean heat powered entirely by Adani Cement’s renewable energy portfolio. This deployment is expected to directly reduce ~60,000 tonnes of CO? emissions annually, with potential to scale tenfold in the future.
Vinod Bahety, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group, said, “This is a pivotal moment in our decarbonisation journey. By integrating cutting-edge electrification solutions, we are accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels, reducing emissions at scale, and setting a new standard for low-carbon cement manufacturing.”
The project also strengthens Adani Cement’s sustainability roadmap, targeting 30% AFR usage and 60% green power share by FY28. The first-generation RDH™ will deliver hot gases at around 1000°C, enabling greener and more efficient use of alternative fuels.
Coolbrook CEO Joonas Rauramo added, “This partnership marks a transformative step for industrial electrification. Together, we’re redefining how cement is produced — cleaner, more efficient, and ready for a net-zero future.”
Adani Cement’s leadership in sustainability is further reflected in its SBTi-validated net-zero targets and its role as the first cement manufacturer to join the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation under IRENA.
