Furno

A rendering of Furno's modular kiln

Furno has developed the first modular, small scale cement kiln that uses natural gas instead of coal to decarbonize cement. The kiln maintains and improves the cement cost-effectiveness through a dramatically more efficient production process. The key innovation is their modular kiln which reduces the 4-steps of cement making into a single, efficient and compact stage.  Furno can displace large, centralized cement manufacturers similar to how mini-mills displaced the large, centralized steel manufacturers.
