HeidelbergCement Norcem plant carbon capture and storage project, Norway
Name of the Project
HeidelbergCement Norcem plant carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
Location
Brevik, in Norway.
Project Owner/s
HeidelbergCement.
Project Description
The Brevik facility will become the world’s first large-scale carbon capture plant at a cement producer, capturing about 400 000 t/y of carbon dioxide.
The development is part of the Norwegian government’s Longship demonstration project to realise the full value chain for CCS.
Longship will pave the way for clean hydrogen. It will facilitate the production of blue hydrogen from natural gas with CCS. This results in hydrogen with very low emissions and a major potential for value creation in Norway and for greenhouse-gas emission cuts in Europe.
The carbon dioxide captured in Brevik will be transported to the Northern Lights project – the transport and storage component of the Longship project – for permanent storage.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Capital Expenditure
Not stated.
Planned Start/End Date
Work on the new facility has started, with the goal of starting carbon dioxide separation from the cement production process by 2024.
Latest Developments
The Norwegian Parliament approved the investment in a full-scale CCS facility at the HeidelbergCement Norcem plant in December 2020.
