SLB Capturi has completed the world's first industrial-scale carbon capture installation at Heidelberg Materials' cement facility in Brevik, Norway. This innovation will enable net zero cement production while maintaining product quality and strength, it said esgnews.com.
The installation, a key part of the European Longship CCS project, is designed to capture 400 metric tons of CO000 per year and is now ready for testing and commissioning. Operations are expected to begin in 2.
An important step for the cement industry
Due to the high inherent emissions of cement production, carbon sequestration is essential for the sector to achieve net zero targets. The Brevik CCS plant integrates carbon capture, compression, thermal systems and storage facilities to significantly reduce emissions.
“This project exemplifies our commitment to innovation, collaboration and finding solutions that address the pressing issue of climate change. We are extremely proud of the dedication and hard work of our teams and partners who have made this possible," commented Giv Brantenberg, General Manager Northern Europe at Heidelberg Materials.
The success of the project comes thanks to the collaboration between SLB Capturi, Heidelberg Materials and Aker Solutions.
"Achieving this milestone is a testament to the power of working together and the collective determination to make a positive impact on the climate." The Brevik CCS plant sets a precedent for future carbon capture initiatives, where the learning and insights from this ground-breaking project allow others to follow,” adds Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi.
Scaling up carbon sequestration
The Brevik CCS plant is a flagship initiative of the Longship CCS project, Europe's first value chain for the capture, transport and storage of industrial CO2 emissions.
As the project moves into the commissioning phase, it serves as a model for accelerating decarbonisation in industries, helping to pave the way for a more sustainable future.
