CCUS: carbon capture, utilization, and storage
Brevik, Norway: Brevik CCS
In Brevik, we are building the world’s first industrial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility at a cement plant. Thanks to the clear support of the government, social acceptance of CCS technology in Norway, and successful cooperation with the authorities, the project is now operational.
Geseke, Germany: GeZero
In Geseke, Heidelberg Materials’ GeZero project – supported by the EU – models a solution for industrial sites that are not near the coast or a waterway. The project includes a transport option for CO₂ until pipeline infrastructure is available. The CO₂ will be transported to the North Sea for storage.
