Heidelberg Materials AG’s carbon-capture plant at the Brevik cement factory in Norway is fully assembled, the government said, marking a key milestone in a $2.6 billion plan to sequester emissions under the North Sea.
The German company said its plant southwest of Oslo will now enter a commissioning phase with the aim to capture about 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year. The CO2 will be transported by ship to a storage facility controlled by Equinor ASA, Shell Plc and TotalEnergies SE at Blomoyna near the coastal city of Bergen.
