The Cement Transition in Colombia
A territorial platform for structuring low-carbon industrial pathways in Colombia.
SARAH JO S.A.S. (TDM) is a Colombian territorial structuring platform. We connect agricultural producers, technology providers, industrial partners and public institutions to develop low-carbon industrial pathways.
Our role is to structure the interface between underutilized biomass and industrial applications, preparing projects for technical and commercial evaluation.
TDM does not operate cement-conversion facilities. Each pathway remains subject to site-specific feasibility studies.

Technical Integration: From Biomass to Industrial Applications
A proposed integration framework for evaluating how agricultural residues may contribute to industrial energy substitution, material recovery and circular resource use. The technical configuration, achievable performance and commercial feasibility must be established for each site.
1. Biomass Supply & Traceability
Agricultural residues sourced through local producer networks, subject to supply, quality and traceability verification.
2. Preparation & Characterization
Assess drying, size reduction and other feedstock-conditioning requirements.
3. Thermochemical Conversion
Evaluate suitable conversion routes and their expected product streams, subject to technology selection and process requirements.
4. Cement Plant Integration
Assess potential applications for biomass-derived fuels, syngas or recovered heat, subject to fuel specifications, kiln compatibility, emissions requirements and plant-specific engineering.
5. Waste Heat Recovery
ORC or steam-cycle systems may be evaluated where the available heat source, temperature profile and operating conditions support technical and economic feasibility.
6. Biochar & By-Product Applications
Evaluate outlets for biochar and other products (soil, agriculture, infrastructure).
🔬 Technical Highlights
Process Integration
Potential fossil-fuel substitution depends on feedstock quality, conversion technology, thermal integration and cement-plant operating conditions.
Carbon Accounting
Biochar and other carbon-related outcomes require appropriate characterization, a defined methodology and measurement, reporting and verification. Carbon-credit eligibility is not automatic.
Waste Heat Recovery
ORC or steam-cycle systems may be evaluated where the available heat source, temperature profile and operating conditions support technical and economic feasibility.
MRV Framework
Measurement, reporting and verification requirements are to be defined according to the project, applicable methodology and intended environmental claims.
