Addressing climate change is crucial, and a key aspect is the reduction of CO2 emissions. Notably, the cement industry is a major emitter. While significant emission reductions have been achieved through alternative fuels and materials, further steps are necessary, including CO2 capture and storage, to meet climate targets.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a process designed to capture CO2 and store it securely, preventing its release into the atmosphere. This encompasses various technologies, with some established for years and others still under development, all contributing to the goal of reducing emissions.
The CCS Brevik project is part of this effort, focusing on implementing proven and emerging technologies to help the cement industry reach its climate goals, and aiming for a more sustainable industrial future.
The CCS-plant is currently under development, with planned mechanical completion by the end of 2024. In 2025, we will start producing and supplying evoZero from Brevik. evoZero is the world's first CCS cement, enabling net-zero concrete without compromising on strength and quality.
