Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, a leading player in the decarbonisation of the construction industry known for its innovative clinker-free cements, has secured a new Appréciation Technique d'Expérimentation (ATEx), marking a significant milestone in the decarbonisation of single-family home construction. This achievement comes in collaboration with the Trecobat Group and Fimurex Planchers, a subsidiary of the Fimurex Group, both prominent figures in the sector.

The ATEx, identified as number 3380_V1, certifies the reliability of H-UKR cement-based concrete for compression tables used in shored floors over crawl spaces in single-family homes. Issued by the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB), a leading public institution specializing in building quality, durability, and safety, this assessment expands the application of Hoffmann Green’s decarbonised cement, speeding up its adoption in the construction sector.

This certification also highlights the company’s progress in low-carbon cements. It supports the technical collaboration between Hoffmann Green’s H-UKR decarbonised cement and Fimurex Planchers’ prefabricated floor systems, which specialize in reinforced concrete elements for single-family homes. This partnership facilitates the integration of a decarbonised floor system into Trecobat’s Green range of timber-frame homes, further reinforcing the collaboration that began in January 2024. Trecobat is France’s fourth-largest builder of single-family homes. Together, the three partners' cutting-edge technologies already meet the 2031 objectives set by the RE2020 environmental regulations, underscoring their dedication to ecological transition and reducing the carbon footprint of construction.

Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann, co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, stated: “We are delighted to have obtained this new assessment, which confirms the relevance of our decarbonised cement in new applications in the construction sector. It reinforces our partnership with Trecobat, which aims to decarbonise single-family home construction and promote the distribution of Hoffmann 0% clinker cements throughout the sector.”

Alban BOYE, Chairman and CEO of Trecobat Group, added: “This partnership with Hoffmann Green enables us to offer our customers environmentally-responsible homes. Together, we're paving the way for innovative single-family housing solutions that already meet the 2031 thresholds of the RE2020 environmental regulations, and shaping the future of sustainable construction in the Grand Ouest region.”

Pascal BARBE, Chairman and CEO of Fimurex Group, concluded: “We are pleased to see that our reinforced concrete floor technology is contributing to decarbonisation in single-family home construction, by combining it with Hoffmann Green's 0% clinker cements. This combination guarantees a high level of quality while preserving the usual processing of our floors. We look forward to seeing this process, the result of two key technologies, deployed in Trecobat Green single-family homes.”
