The Interreg project SITAR<\/strong> is pleased to announce that Alpacem Zement Austria GmbH<\/strong>, one of its project partners, has been nominated for the “Innovation and Research Award of the Province of Carinthia 2026<\/strong>“.<\/p>

The nomination recognizes Alpacem’s work in the area of CO\u2082-reduced cement production<\/strong>, which was developed as part of the company’s long-term “Compass to zero CO\u2082” initiative. The project focuses on reducing the carbon footprint of cement while maintaining the high performance, durability and reliability required for construction and infrastructure applications. <\/p>

The nominated cement type, Cem II\/C<\/strong>, was developed in targeted research and test phases and has already been successfully used under real conditions in both building construction and infrastructure projects<\/strong>. The innovation shows how targeted material development and the optimization of production processes can contribute to a significant reduction in emissions in one of the most CO\u2082-intensive areas of the construction industry. <\/p>

As part of the dissemination and knowledge transfer activities of the SITAR project<\/strong>, Alpacem will also present its work during the SITAR Summer School 2026<\/strong> and provide participants with direct insights into sustainable cement production and current challenges in the industry.<\/p>

\ud83c\udfa4 C. Stotter & L. Lechner (Alpacem Zement Austria GmbH)<\/strong><\/p>

“Sustainable cement production”<\/strong><\/p>

The nomination underlines the importance of close collaboration between industry, research and cross-border initiatives such as Interreg projects for the promotion of sustainable building practices in the Alpine region. The SITAR consortium congratulates Alpacem on this well-deserved recognition and looks forward to further collaboration. <\/p>
