Australia’s Zeotech Ltd (ASX: ZEO) has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cement Australia to accelerate the development and commercialization of AusPozz™, a next-generation metakaolin (calcined kaolin) designed for low-carbon cement and concrete applications.

Under the MoU, the two companies will jointly assess AusPozz™ as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM), testing its performance and exploring opportunities for broader industrial implementation using Cement Australia’s production and logistics infrastructure.

Zeotech’s CEO, James Marsh, emphasized that the collaboration aligns with the company’s mission to support decarbonization in construction materials through advanced kaolin technology. “AusPozz™ has shown high reactivity and potential to significantly reduce clinker usage, cutting CO₂ emissions in the cement value chain,” Marsh said.

The partnership marks another step in Zeotech’s broader strategy to scale up its calcined kaolin business and supply sustainable materials for the building industry. The agreement follows recent funding of A$13 million, secured to advance the company’s mining, processing, and green cement initiatives across Australia.
