Fortera is a climate technology company on a mission to decarbonize one of the world’s most polluting industries: cement. Headquartered in San Jose, California, with production in Redding, Fortera has redefined green construction materials through its patented ReCarb® process—a transformative innovation that captures industrial CO₂ and mineralizes it into a ready-to-use, low-carbon cement alternative. This breakthrough reduces emissions by up to 70% compared to traditional cement production.

Recognized globally with the 2025 World Future Awards in the Cleantech category, Fortera’s scalable, bolt-on solution retrofits existing cement plants without the need for major capital infrastructure upgrades. By utilizing existing feedstocks, machinery, and logistics, Fortera enables producers to rapidly reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining economic and regulatory viability. The result is ReAct®, a green cement that not only meets current performance standards but also functions flawlessly within today’s construction value chain.

With cement production responsible for approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions, Fortera’s innovation addresses a critical climate challenge. Unlike high-cost alternatives that require complete system overhauls, Fortera’s solution works within the trillion-dollar cement ecosystem, making immediate decarbonization possible, now, not decades from now.

Since its founding in 2019, Fortera has collaborated with cement and lime producers, ready-mix companies, and construction leaders to validate its technology in real-world applications. Industry feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with construction professionals noting that Fortera’s ReAct cement performs on par with or better than conventional mixes.

As demand for sustainable building materials grows, Fortera is at the forefront, leveraging transparency, quality, and innovation to create a cleaner, more resilient future. With global scalability at its core and a clear path to zero-CO₂ cement, Fortera is leading the green building revolution.
