Compressors for carbon capture

04 September 2024, Published under Cement News

A groundbreaking project in Norway will produce the world’s first industrial-scale carbon-free cement. It is a vital effort to decarbonise one of the hardest to manage industrial sectors, but Marco Ernst, head of sales and project management CCS at MAN Energy Solutions, argues that the true key to achieving carbon capture at scale is cost. By Dr Marco Ernst , MAN Energy Solutions, Germany Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik plant will capture and store some 400,000tpa of CO 2 when opera...

Bath carbon capture project seeks profit from captured CO2

08 July 2024, Published under Cement News

The carbon capture project at Lafarge Canada 's Bath Ontario, Canada, aims to make a profit. While the path to net zero will overwhelmingly come from actually cutting emissions, not capturing them, the project in Bath, aims to transforms captured CO 2 into calcium carbonate,   a product that is   used in pharmaceuticals, paint and packaging and can achieve prices of US$400-2700/t on the world market, depending on purity and grade. While these varied uses show the growth potential for the f...
