With 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ to be captured annually and transported for permanent storage, Heidelberg Materials is realising the first industrial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at a cement production facility in the world at Brevik:
We monitor emissions of air pollutants on an ongoing basis. By using new filter technologies and innovative production processes, we reduce pollutants and thus mitigate the impact of our activities on the environment and neighbouring communities.
Our sites are operated in accordance with relevant international, national and local environmental legislation, with environmental impact assessments prepared generally as a pre-requisite for the permitting of quarrying activities.
Heidelberg Materials is dedicated to creating environmentally friendly and socially responsible products that are of the highest quality. Their research and development work focuses on creating innovative products that will increase customer satisfaction and benefit the company. They are also making efforts to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions by improving their processes and introducing new formulations.
