The Northern Lights carbon storage project starts up27 September 2024, Published under Cement NewsHeidelberg Materials Northern Europe is the first industrial customer to deliver captured CO 2 by ship to the storage facilities of the Northern Lights JV in Øygarden, Norway. This facility will support the Norwegian government’s Longship project, providing infrastructure to transport and store CO 2 from capture sites to a secure reservoir 2600m under the seabed. Longship is Norway’s initiative to develop a full-scale CCS value chain, showcasing its potential as a global decarbonisat... |
Seven companies to work on Japanese advanced CCS projects04 September 2024, Published under Cement NewsTaiheiyo Cement Corp , ITOCHU Corp, Nippon Steel Corp, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, INPEX Corp, Taisei Corp and ITOCHU Oil Exploration Co Ltd were selected by the Japan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) to conduct engineering design work for Japanese advanced CCS projects. The Japanese government has chosen CCS as an important means for decarbonisation that must be fully harnessed, especially in hard-to-abate industries such as cement if Japan is to achieve the tw... |
Cembureau calls for amendments EC draft Act19 July 2024, Published under Cement NewsCembureau, the European cement association, has commented on the European Commission’s draft Delegated Act on permanent emissions storage through carbon capture and utilisation (CCU). Significant research has been carried out into the topic of mineralisation as a permanent form of CO 2 storage and an increasing number of companies are planning to store CO 2 in concrete or aggregates, sometimes even offering carbon removals through the use of biogenic CO 2 . But Cembureau would welcome ... |
Carbon8's CO2 capture technology is validated by DNV10 July 2024, Published under Cement NewsDNV has validated the methodology developed and used by Carbon8 to reduce carbon emissions. Carbon8’s patented technology permanently captures CO 2 at source from hard-to-abate industries and DNV has verified that Carbon8’s methodology satisfies the ISO 14064 part 2 standard. Eager to demonstrate authenticity, quality and traceability, Carbon8 selected DNV to validate and authenticate its methodology. The ISO 14064 part 2 requirements specifically relate to quantifying, monitor... |
Tapping India's CO2 storage potential28 June 2024, Published under Cement NewsThis week the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) hosted a webinar with the Global CCS Initiative and the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) CCUS Initiative following the release of the 'CCUS in the Indian cement industry - A review of CO2 hubs and storage facilities'. While the country with the largest population is committed to achieving net zero by 2070, India currently emits 5.8 per cent of its CO2 emissions from cement manufacture. For the industry to decarbonise, it needs safe st... |
China's coal reliance remains a threat to decarbonisation targets14 June 2024, Published under Cement NewsThe rate at which China reduces its CO2 emissions will have a huge impact on whether the world achieves Net Zero before the worst effects of climate change. This week's announcement that CO2 reduction targets from the cement sector will be cut in China by around 13Mt, in the next year, is a definite signal to the world that China is beginning its shift to a low-carbon economy. Reaching peak carbon output before 2030 will keep the country with the largest cement production on course for carbo... |
Slite plant applies to rebuild harbour and enable CO2 transport06 June 2024, Published under Cement NewsHeidelberg Materials is applying to the Swedish Land and Environment Court for an environmental permit to build one of Europe's largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities for capturing CO 2 at the cement factory in Slite. The application also includes permission to rebuild Slite harbour to enable the transport of captured CO 2 . Using bio-based fuels and CO 2 capture, the factory is retooled to produce cement with zero net emissions with the potential to create a significant carbo... |
Holcim El-Djazaïr and SLB collaborate on decarbonisation03 June 2024, Published under Cement NewsHolcim El-Djazaïr and global technology company SLB are proud to announce the signing of an agreement for a collaboration framework to explore carbon capture and storage (CCS) opportunities in Algeria. The ceremony was attended by Martin Kriegner, a member of Holcim's executive committee in charge of Asia, Middle East, and Africa (MEA), and Redha Kelkouli, general manager of SLB North Africa. This strategic agreement aims to explore innovative solutions to reduce CO 2 emissions, thereb... |
CO2 capture and storage - a German pipe dream waiting to happen?22 March 2024, Published under Cement NewsThis week, a report on Germany's CO2 pipeline infrastructure by the country's cement industry association, VDZ, estimated that a total of 4800km of CO2 pipelines is needed, costing EUR14bn, to decarbonise. Moreover, as the cement industry and other heavy industries in the EU emission trading scheme must produce a largely climate-neutral business, the CO2 pipeline network has to be in place by 2040. VDZ's pipeline transport costs are approximately EUR25-30/t CO 2 . For longer distances of ... |
