In Brevik, Heidelberg Materials is 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 at an advanced stage. We anticipate mechanical completion by the end of 2024. The absorber, in which CO₂ will be separated from the flue gas flow, was installed in the third quarter of 2023. The tanks for temporary storage of the CO₂ prior to transport have also already been constructed.

Heidelberg Materials’ GeZero project in Geseke will be supported by the EU Innovation Fund. GeZero will model a solution for inland industrial sites that are not in close proximity to the coast or a waterway. The project also includes a transport solution to bridge the gap until the necessary pipeline infrastructure is available. The facility is scheduled to go into operation in 2029. Once captured, the CO₂ will be transported to a distribution hub in Wilhelmshaven and from there to offshore storage sites in the North Sea.
