Heidelberg’s cement plant in Brevik, Norway is now working with carbon seize. It has bought out of its EvoZero low-carbon cement this 12 months and stories a rising order e book.
Heidelberg plans to supply carbon captured cement in the United Kingdom however within the period in-between is including to the emerging tide of imported cement to fulfill call for right here for low carbon product.
The United Kingdom made 7.3 million tonnes of cement in 2024 – round part of what it produced in 1990 – and imported 3.6 million tonnes.
Round 3,500 tonnes of Heidelberg’s Norwegian-made EvoZero product is being saved in silos at Port of Goole able on the market.
“EvoZero is the sector’s first carbon captured near-zero cement and units new requirements for sustainable construction fabrics,” mentioned Andy Murphy, Heidelberg Fabrics UK industrial director. “The product achieves its near-zero footprint in the course of the software of carbon seize and garage (CCS) and can lend a hand the United Kingdom development trade succeed in its decarbonisation objectives.”
Heidelberg Fabrics has round a dozen different CCS merchandise in making plans around the globe.
The following to be operational must be in the United Kingdom at its Padeswood cement works in north Wales. This mission reached a last funding choice with the United Kingdom govt in September 2025 and is predicted to supply EvoZero in 2029.
Padeswood CCS builds at the fashion of Brevik, which captures round 50% of the plant’s CO₂ emissions – roughly 400,000 tonnes a 12 months. The Padeswood facility is designed to seize 95% of the carbon emissions from the prevailing cement works – round 800,000 tonnes a 12 months.
