Produce low-carbon cement with precise monitoring. Optimise with CarbonOS.

Carbonova connects kiln, mill and energy data to CarbonOS, a platform of AI agents that calculates emissions per tonne of clinker and cement, flags drift in thermal and electrical energy use, and compares alternative-fuel and clinker-factor scenarios by their effect on cost and CO₂. The same dataset produces carbon reports for regulators, customers and investors, with an audit trail back to the source.

About 60% come from calcining limestone to make clinker, which releases the CO₂ held in the raw material, and most of the rest comes from burning fuel in the kiln (World Economic Forum, 2023). That is why the two biggest levers are the clinker factor, 72% on global average according to the same source, and the kiln’s fuel mix.

Facilities emitting more than 100,000 tCO₂e a year are covered by the Safeguard Mechanism, whose baselines fall by 4.9% a year to 30 June 2030. Large companies also report under AASB S2, which requires Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions; Group 2 entities started with reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2026.

Yes. A Safeguard facility that reduces its emissions below its baseline is issued Safeguard Mechanism Credits, one for each tonne of CO₂e below the baseline, which it can sell to other covered facilities or surrender for its own compliance; they are not offsets. Carbonova tracks emissions against the baseline and shows which kiln, fuel and clinker measures create the most credits per dollar spent.

Using your plant’s real data, the planning agent simulates the cost and CO₂ effect of replacing fossil fuel with waste-derived fuel or biomass and of replacing part of the clinker with materials such as slag, pozzolans or limestone, then ranks the options by cost per tonne of CO₂ avoided. As a benchmark, waste-derived fuels already supply 52% of the heat in French cement kilns (France Ciment, 2023).

Yes. Every value has lineage back to its source data, a versioned emission factor and a change history, in line with the ISO 14064-3 verification standard. The same dataset serves regulatory reporting, ISSB-aligned disclosures, the emissions data EU importers need for CBAM and customer requests for product carbon footprints.
