SLB Capturi has completed the construction of the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway, marking the world’s first industrial-scale project of its kind.
“With the full-scale carbon capture plant now complete…the plant is now ready for testing and commissioning,” said SLB in a press release.
The scope of work completed includes the carbon capture system, compression system, heat integration system, intermediate storage, and loadout facilities.
“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,” Fagerland added.
The Brevik CCS plant, expected to start operations in 2025, will enable the production of net zero cement, without compromising on the product strength or quality.
the company said that the Facility will reduce emissions by up to 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually for Heidelberg Materials, one of the world’s largest building materials companies
“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,” Brantenberg added.
SLB has cooperated with Aker Solutions and the local industry to complete the construction of this project.
