Exeed Industries signs MoU with Partanna Oasis to explore sustainable cement solutions in the UAE
Exeed Industries, a leading industrial group in the UAE, has signed an MoU with Partanna Oasis, a subsidiary of Partanna, a global innovator in sustainable building materials. The MoU initiates a collaboration aimed at introducing carbon-negative cement technologies in the UAE.
The MoU emphasises a joint intention to assess and plan for the establishment of facilities in Abu Dhabi to locally produce Partanna's next-generation cement alternatives. Both parties will strategise for the establishment of a brine conversion facility, a tolling facility, and a cement production plant, enabling the commercialisation of Partanna's products in the UAE.
Partanna's carbon negative building materials, made without traditional Portland cement, not only eliminate carbon emissions but actively remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, offering a pioneering approach to sustainable construction. Traditional Portland cement is responsible for 9 per cent of global CO₂ emissions.
As part of this collaboration, both parties will work together on certification processes, performance testing, and alignment within regulatory frameworks. The scope also includes evaluating applications across the UAE's construction sector, with integration into Exeed's precast and concrete operations.
'We are excited to join forces with Partanna to champion green innovation in construction,' said Mohammad Alameer, group CEO at Exeed Industries. 'This partnership aligns perfectly with our sustainability objectives and the UAE's industrial decarbonisation goals.'
'This is an important milestone in our mission to scale global access to climate-positive construction materials,' added Rick Fox, CEO of Partanna. 'The UAE is a strategic market and global leader in sustainable construction, and Exeed's deep industrial expertise makes them a match winning partner.'
The MoU reinforces both companies' commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long-term value creation.
