What is the Project?
SERAMIC is all about adding value to waste – a concept that looks beyond what many see as mere by‐products. The company’s philosophy emphasizes a breakthrough zero‐waste approach that is not only ambitious but also extremely practical in today’s energy intensive industry. In essence, the project is focused on recycling industrial waste into sustainable, value‐added products by taking industrial waste heat and solid materials and giving them a new life. It is a tailored solution that transforms waste into opportunities… a real game changer.
Main Benefit
The benefits of this initiative are clear and multi-faceted. Key features and figures include:

- AVOIDING RAW MATERIALS EXTRACTION
Sustainability Vision
At the heart of the project is a bold vision: driving energy intensive industry towards a more sustainable future. The idea is simple yet profound – utilize waste that would typically contribute to environmental challenges and convert it into high-value products that directly contribute to a greener economy. There’s an underlying commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy in industry, all while supporting a circular eco-economy model that paves the way for a near-zero waste industrial landscape.
Innovative Approach
This isn’t just about recycling; it’s about innovation at its finest. SERAMIC has created two dedicated entities: SERAMIC ENERGY and SERAMIC MATERIALS. The former focuses on waste heat recovery projects, while the latter applies patented technology to upcycle industrial solid waste into advanced ceramic products. It is a comprehensive turn-key solution that not only repurposes waste heat and solid waste materials but also helps in reducing the overall carbon footprint. This approach is both inventive and massively impactful – it’s technology designed to keep industries evolving toward sustainability.
Company Background
Born out of the unique and innovative environment of the Masdar Institute – now part of Khalifa University of Science and Technology – SERAMIC stands out as a start-up that embodies creativity and hands-on experimentation. Founded in October 2018 within the Masdar City Free Zone in Abu Dhabi, the project continues to nurture its legacy of innovation from a cradle of knowledge and human capital. Seramic Materials, a vital component of the initiative, has developed a unique and patented solution to transform industrial solid waste into sustainable ceramics, which are produced at a fraction of the cost and carbon footprint of conventional products… all while contributing to a new eco-industry dedicated to fighting climate change.
Further Industrial Innovation
Industrial sectors are evolving rapidly and this project is at the vanguard of that change. With the clear objective of repurposing waste into valuable energy and ceramic products, SERAMIC is not only offering technological solutions but also paving the way for industries to adopt more sustainable practices. The drive towards using proven turnkey technologies and finetuning waste-to-energy and waste-to-product methodologies represents a committed response to the growing challenges of industrial waste and energy inefficiency.
