Progressive Planet launches PozGlass pilot plant09 March 2023, Published under Cement NewsCanada-based Progressive Planet, a CleanTech and manufacturing company specialising in the creation of planet-friendly products, has announced that it will be building a pilot plant to produce up to 3200tpa of PozGlass™ 100G, a CleanTech low carbon cement that can dramatically reduce the cement industry’s carbon footprint. Made from 100 per cent post-consumer glass, PozGlass replaces carbon emitting ingredients used in the making of cement. It can also replace fly ash in concrete. P... |
Supporting the drive for decarbonisation10 January 2023, Published under Cement NewsAs cement producers continue on the path to decarbonisation and carbon capture readiness, XDH-energy discusses the interconnected themes of Environmental Compliance as a Service (E-CaaS), Energy as a Service (EaaS), and waste heat recovery for increased peak load demand and flue gas cleaning for optimal CO 2 capture. By Xavier d’Hubert, XDH-energy. Figure 1: Environmental Compliance as a Service (E-CaaS) – five building blocks Not a day goes by without an announcement for a new... |
Hanson awards contract for CCS plant at Padeswood20 December 2022, Published under Cement NewsUK-based Hanson , part of Heidelberg Materials , has awarded a contract to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering to deliver the preliminary front-end engineering design for a CO 2 capture plant at Hanson’s Padeswood cement plant in Flintshire, north Wales. Once operational it will capture 800,000t of CO 2 and store it in spent gas fields off the coast of northwest England. According to Hanson, it hopes to have the carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant up and running by 2027 with ... |
Cement Australia installs KC8 CO2 capture technology09 December 2022, Published under Cement NewsAustralia-based KC8 Capture Technologies is installing a demonstration plant to capture CO2 at Cement Australia ’s plant in Gladstone , Queensland. KC8’s solvent-based carbon capture processes are capable of capturing up to 95 per cent of CO2 from heavy industry sources, such as cement plants, according to the company. Reported in Financial Review, the project is called PACER - Potassium Carbonate Absorption for Clinker Emissions Reduction - and is expected to be built by the second qu... |
SigmaRoc to install Aqualung carbon capture unit30 November 2022, Published under Cement NewsSigmaRoc has signed an agreement with Aqualung Carbon Capture AS, a leading membrane carbon capture and separation technology provider, to install SigmaRoc’s first carbon capture facility in the first quarter of 2023. The agreement will allow for the installation of a carbon capture membrane technology solution across all SigmaRoc’s operational kilns following initial installation at one kiln in Nordkalk, Finland. The technology is modular, tested and scalable, allowing for a phased and s... |
Hanson reports another carbon capture breakthrough23 November 2022, Published under Cement NewsHanson has demonstrated another ground-breaking carbon capture process, this time at its Ribblesdale cement works in Clitheroe, Lancashire, UK. The team proved that enforced carbonation of recycled concrete paste (RCP) within the plant’s existing wet scrubber allows for a high CO2 uptake within less than 30m, preventing emissions entering the atmosphere. During the trial 15t of industrial RCP were fed into the scrubber. The result was 100kg of CO2 being bound within each tonne of RCP,... |
Asia Cement to start CCUS in 2025 with TCRK technology15 November 2022, Published under Cement NewsTCRK, a fast-growing IP-led CO2 capture and usage business, is collaborating with Asia Cement to bring TCRK’s carbon capture technology to a major South Korean cement plant, and support Asia Cement in achieving its 2025 decarbonisation commitments. Starting in the 1Q23, this first commercial scale deployment of TCRK carbon capture and utilisation technology will initially target 30,000t CO2e per year, growing to 120,000t CO2e per year over the first 18 months. This second target will pr... |
Heidelberg Materials signs global licence agreement with Leilac28 October 2022, Published under Cement NewsHeidelberg Materials has signed an indefinite global licence agreement with the technology company Leilac, enabling the future scale-up of the joint carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) activities.
