Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker: ALHGR), an industry leader in the decarbonization of the construction sector, has announced the extension of its licensing agreement with its American partner, This extension, signed in July 2024, triggers an additional €8 million entry fee. Hoffmann Green Cement specializes in designing and marketing innovative clinker-free cements, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of traditional construction materials.
The decision to extend the licensing agreement follows the American partner’s satisfaction with the performance cements and the growing interest from the American construction market in this sustainable technology. With this expanded agreement,USA now holds licensing rights for an additional 25 states across the eastern United States, enhancing the reach of Hoffmann Green’s groundbreaking cement products. This move aligns with the company’s ongoing international expansion efforts, which have accelerated throughout 2024.
The extension not only demonstrates the effectiveness of Hoffmann Green’s technology but also highlights the significant demand for innovative concrete solutions that can meet the decarbonization goals of the construction sector.
The U.S. market, in particular, is increasingly seeking materials that align with its ambitious environmental targets, including carbon reduction and sustainable building practices.
The licensing agreement extension involves an additional €8 million entry fee, bringing the total to €10 million, with the first €2 million already received. The contract also includes fixed and variable annual royalties, based on sales generated from the marketing of Hoffmann Green cements in the newly added states. This structure further incentivizes both partners to work together toward expanding presence in the U.S. and driving sales in these new territories.
In addition to the licensing rights, the agreement grants the opportunity to sub-license Hoffmann units within the new states, providing an additional avenue for growth. Discussions are already underway with potential sub-licensees in these regions, which could accelerate the widespread adoption of Hoffmann Green’s sustainable cements in the U.S. construction market.
The decision to extend the licensing agreement comes at a time when U.S. legislation is becoming increasingly supportive of the energy transition. Key policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, provide a favorable backdrop for the growth of sustainable construction practices. These legislative measures create an environment where the demand for environmentally friendly products, such as Hoffmann Green’s clinker-free cements, is expected to rise significantly.
The U.S. government’s commitment to decarbonizing the construction sector aligns with Hoffmann Green’s mission to revolutionize the industry with its eco-friendly solutions. The extension of the licensing agreement not only strengthens Hoffmann Green’s position in the U.S. market but also supports the broader goal of reducing carbon emissions in the construction sector. As the U.S. looks to meet its climate goals, Hoffmann Green’s innovative cement technologies are well-positioned to play a key role in the transformation of the construction industry.
“This agreement extension underscores the growing recognition of Hoffmann Green’s disruptive technology and the importance of sustainability in the construction industry,” said a representative from Green Cement. “We are excited to expand our footprint in the U.S. and continue to offer innovative, sustainable solutions to the construction market.”

In conclusion, the extension of the licensing agreement between Cement Technologies and USA marks a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to expand its presence in the U.S. and contribute to the decarbonization of the construction sector. The new agreement is a testament to the success of innovative, clinker-free cement technology, and its potential to transform the construction industry by offering sustainable alternatives to traditional building materials.
