Due to the inherent emissions of cement production, the sector is dependent on carbon capture and storage to reach net zero. The carbon capture plant is designed to capture up to 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from the cement facility. Strong execution support from Aker Solutions and the local industry has been instrumental in completing the construction of this project.
"The mechanical completion of the Brevik CCS project is a landmark achievement in the decarbonization journey of the cement industry," said Giv Brantenberg, general manager Northern Europe, Heidelberg Materials. "This project exemplifies our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and the pursuit of solutions that address the pressing issue of climate change. We are immensely proud of the dedication and hard work of our teams and partners who have made this possible."
The Brevik CCS plant is part of The Longship CCS project, Europe's first complete value chain for the capture, transport, and storage of industrial CO2 emissions. The Brevik plant will now move into commissioning phase, with operations starting during 2025.
