ACCSESS for CCS projects
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is an important pillar of HeidelbergCement’s carbon neutrality roadmap. As part of Project ACCSESS, the company will be the first to pilot CCUS technology in eastern Europe by demonstrating post-combustion capture technology at its Górażdże cement plant in Poland. With three main focal points, the intiative aims to connect European carbon capture projects with CO2 transport and storage under the Northern Lights initiative. By HeidelbergCement, Germany.
During a six-month test period in 2023, a containerised demonstration
unit will be operated at the Górażdże cement plant in Poland
Environmental responsibility and the path to carbon neutrality are always at the centre of HeidelbergCement’s business. To accelerate the transformation towards a sustainable future, the company has recently tightened its climate targets and now aims to reduce specific net CO2 emissions to 400kg/t of cementitious material by 2030. Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is one key lever to significantly reduce otherwise unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions in the cement industry, and therefore an important pillar of HeidelbergCement’s carbon neutrality roadmap.
