Carbon Capture and Storage: The Opportunity in Edmonton, AB and Lessons Learned

Description

In Edmonton, Alberta, Heidelberg Materials has completed the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study as part of the world’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage project in the cement industry. With a target completion date of 2030, the project would enable decarbonized cement and concrete well ahead of the industry’s net-zero targets. Heidelberg Materials is
leading the way in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to decarbonize cement production globally, with projects identified in Europe, North America, and beyond. Designed to capture and store up to one million tonnes of CO₂ annually, the Edmonton CCS project demonstrates our commitment to innovation and climate leadership. This session will outline the technology behind carbon capture and storage, how it extends to concrete production, and the lessons learned to date.
