SLB Capturi completes carbon capture plant at Brevik cement site

SLB Capturi has announced the mechanical completion of its carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway.

Once operational, the facility will be the world’s first commercial-scale carbon capture plant at a cement site, capable of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 400,000 metric tonnes annually.  

The project marks a step forward in decarbonising the cement industry, which faces unique challenges due to the inherent emissions of cement production. 

By integrating a carbon capture system, compression system, heat integration, intermediate storage, and loadout facilities, the plant will enable the production of Net Zero cement without compromising product quality or strength, according to the partners.
