Cleburne Project

Terra CO2 and Asher Materials' Advanced Processing Facility for Concrete Decarbonization.

Terra CO2 Technology and Asher Materials have partnered to build a state-of-the-art advanced processing facility in Cleburne, Texas, to decarbonize cement production.

This groundbreaking project will stimulate economic growth, create jobs, position Texas as a sustainable, cost-competitive construction leader, and establish a blueprint for other regions.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Cleburne facility will have an annual production capacity of 240,000 tons of OPUS Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM), a key element in decarbonizing cement. This cutting-edge plant will contribute to the cement industry's growth, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Construction is set to start in late 2024.

Stay tuned for more project updates.

Community Impact

Built with the Cleburne community in mind, our project will significantly impact the local economy.

JOB GROWTH

The facility is expected to create jobs in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, stimulating economic growth and providing opportunities for skilled workers.

Industry Advancement

By establishing Texas as a hub for innovative construction materials, Terra CO2 and Asher Materials attract investment, drive industrial growth, and contribute to the region's economic prosperity.

In Collaboration with the Community

Regular updates on project progress through local media outlets and community meetings

Partnerships with local schools to provide educational opportunities in sustainable construction

Sponsorship of community events and initiatives to foster a strong relationship with the residents of Cleburne

Building for a Sustainable Future

The Concrete Problem: Cement

As Texas's population continues to grow, the demand for cement is on the rise. Cement is a key ingredient in concrete, the most widely used construction material worldwide. However, traditional cement production methods face challenges in terms of efficiency and resource availability. With the Dallas-Fort Worth area expanding rapidly, the North Texas construction industry faces challenges in meeting this demand while ensuring efficiency and sustainability.

The Path Forward, Starting in Cleburne

The processing facility in Cleburne, Texas, represents a major step forward in sustainable construction.

The Cleburne facility is part of the solution to the cement problem. It will provide a local source of innovative, low-carbon cement alternatives, reducing the need for long-distance transportation and supporting the growth of the regional construction sector.

Terra’s supplementary cementitious materials are designed to be scalable to meet the immense demand, finally making decarbonized concrete a viable, affordable alternative for our industry.

  • Asher Materials has emerged as a leader in low carbon building material solutions, embracing sustainable practices on a grand scale. From incorporating recycled materials to promoting locally sourced options, Asher Materials pioneers eco-friendly construction. With innovation and determination, Asher Materials showcases the power of responsible building choices, inspiring others to follow suit.

    Asher Materials is headquartered in Southlake, Texas.

  • Terra is the standard for cement decarbonization. We enable our partners to unlock real zero cement from source to deployment.

    Unique to Terra CO2 is their capability to work across a diverse range of silicate rock mineralogy, not constrained by feedstock availability. Terra's technology allows the company to create sustainable construction materials with the most abundant and accessible raw materials on earth from already approved and open mines.

    Terra's first product, OPUS SCM (Supplementary Cementitious Material), is ready for commercial deployment, capable of replacing up to 50% OPC (Original Portland Cement) and solving the industry's carbon emissions and dwindling feedstock challenges. Terra's OPUS ZERO™, a complete, real zero cement alternative, is in full concrete trials. Both leverage Terra's "drop-in" reactor solution, which seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure and sets the foundation for the transition to real zero cement.

    Validated by third parties, Terra's materials perform equal to or better than traditional cementitious products.

    Terra CO2 is headquartered in Golden, Colorado, and is led by a team of industry experts.

    Chance has served on many boards, and currently holds board positions with the University of Missouri Science & Technology, Mining Department, and Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Be a part of the future of construction materials.
