Finland’s Betolar and Australia’s Jetcrete have entered into a partnership to accelerate the integration of low-emission shotcrete in Australia’s mining sector. The agreement gives Jetcrete exclusive rights to market solutions developed by Betolar, including Geoprime binder and CEM III mixes, designed to replace conventional cement in subway environments.

A proof of concept(PoC) will be launched during the fourth quarter of 2025 with financial support from mining clients. Upon validation, Jetcrete will be responsible for logistics and direct contact with operators, while Betolar will focus efforts on research, technical fine-tuning and supply chain stability.
With more than 40 years of experience in shotcrete for subwaymining, Jetcrete sees this alliance as a key step in modernizing its offering. “The combined experience of both companies creates a solid foundation for expanding sustainable solutions across the country,” said Marcus Properzi, CEO of Jetcrete.
Scaling our solutions together with Jetcrete will allow the mining industry to reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining demanding operational standards.

Betolar will retain the freedom to apply its technology to other sectors, such as cement-free rock backfill, paste backfill and tailings reuse. These innovations are integrated into its artificial intelligence-driven technology platform, which promotes the circular economy by using industrial waste as a raw material in the mining market.
