SLB Capturi has reached a significant milestone in the mechanical completion of the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway.
The full-scale carbon capture plant, including the carbon capture system, compression system, heat integration system, intermediate storage, and loadout facilities, is now complete and ready for testing and commissioning. When operational, this world-first commercial-scale carbon capture plant at a cement facility will enable the production of net zero cement without compromising on product strength or quality.
“Reaching this milestone is a testament to the power of working together and the collective determination to make a positive climate impact,” said Egil Fagerland, CEO, SLB Capturi. “We look forward to continuing these collaborative efforts as we move toward the commissioning and operational phases of the project. The Brevik CCS plant sets a precedent for future carbon capture initiatives, where learnings and insights from this groundbreaking project enable others to follow.”
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 of Northern Europe, Heidelberg Materials. 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.
