In more than 50 countries across the world, Heidelberg Materials stands for competence and quality. We are one of the world's largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions.
Our products are cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, and asphalt. They are used for the construction of houses, infrastructure, and commercial and industrial facilities.
Strong financial figures in the first nine months of 2023
“We have closed the first three quarters of 2023 with a strong result despite declining demand for our building materials,” stated Dr Dominik von Achten, Chairman of the Managing Board of Heidelberg Materials.
Lithuanian construction company PST has built concrete bases for wind turbines in cooperation with Heidelberg Materials Lietuva. They used EcoCrete Smart, a sustainable, CO₂-reduced and digitally monitored concrete. The project enabled PST to train in wind turbine construction and to consider digital tools and sustainability as the way forward.
Dr Robert Habeck, Terje Aasland and Jan Christian Vestre highlighted the importance of CO₂ capture technologies for the industry during their visit to Heidelberg Materials' CCS project in Brevik. The project is groundbreaking globally as it is the first large-scale carbon capture plant in the cement industry. Heidelberg Materials will invest EUR 1.5 billion in CCUS projects by 2030 to achieve net zero emissions.
Heidelberg Materials and Linde have established a joint venture under the name "Capture-to-Use" (CAP2U) to build and operate a state-of-the-art carbon dioxide capture and liquefaction plant. The world's first industrial-scale carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) facility in the cement industry is scheduled to start operations in 2025 at Heidelberg Materials' Lengfurt plant in Germany.
The new Terminal 3 in the south of Frankfurt Airport is taking shape. The new departure hall is designed to combine functionality with aesthetics. The coloured exposed concrete elements in natural tones create a warm, lounge-like atmosphere. Around 320,000 cubic meters of concrete have already been used. The cement required for this was supplied by Heidelberg Materials.
Heidelberg Materials has recently accomplished a significant milestone by performing the first-ever industrial scale test of enforced carbonation of recycled concrete in a cement plant. It proved that mineral carbonation is a promising Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology. However, this test would be not possible without the scientific understanding of the new CCU technology in cement industry.
