Heidelberg advances Alberta CCUS project
Cement producer awards FEED contract for large-scale project but stresses need to finalise federal and provincial funding
Cement maker Heidelberg Materials has progressed its large-scale CCUS project in Alberta with the award of a FEED contract to French engineering and technology company Technip Energies. The contract covers the carbon capture stage of the project, which will use Shell’s Cansolv amine-based technology. The project at Heidelberg’s Edmonton site represents the first full-scale application of CCUS in the cement sector, with a target CO₂ capture rate of up to 800,000t/yr. “We are excited to take this latest step in our journey to produce the world’s first net-zero cement,” said Joerg Nixdorf, vice-president of cement operations, northwest region, for Heidelberg Materials North America. “With each
