SLB Capturi Completes Carbon Capture Plant at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik Facility

SLB Capturi has announced the successful mechanical completion of the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials' cement facility in Brevik, Norway. This marks a significant step in achieving net-zero emissions in the cement industry. The plant's construction is now complete and ready to begin testing and commissioning.

Key Features of the Brevik Carbon Capture Plant

The newly finished facility features carbon capture, compression, heat integration, intermediate storage, and loadout systems. Once operational, the Brevik plant will be the first commercial-scale carbon capture facility for cement production. It will allow Heidelberg Materials to produce net-zero carbon cement without compromising strength or quality.

Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi said, "Reaching this milestone is a testament to the power of working together and the collective determination to make a positive climate impact."

He added, “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."

Cement Industry’s Path to Net Zero

The cement industry is a major CO2 emitter due to energy-intensive production processes, significantly contributing to global emissions. Achieving net-zero emissions in the sector largely depends on carbon capture and storage technologies. The Brevik carbon capture plant will capture 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, supporting the cement industry's decarbonisation efforts. Aker Solutions and local industry partners played a crucial role in the project's successful construction and provided strong support.

The Brevik CCS plant forms part of the Longship CCS project, Europe’s first integrated CO2 capture and storage chain. After completing mechanical work, the plant will move to commissioning, with full operations set for 2025.
