Denmark’s Aalborg Portland CCS-project selected by EU

AalborgPortlandCement

Cementir through its subsidiary Aalborg Portland in Denmark and Air Liquide, have launched the ACCSION joint decarbonisation project. The CCS project has been selected by the European Commission to receive € 220m in project support under the EU Innovation Fund to capture 1.5 Mta of CO2 from the plant (photo). The CryocapTM technology by Air Liquide will be used to capture, purify and liquefy approximately 95% of the CO₂ emitted by the cement kilns. The captured CO₂ would be integrated into a new pipeline infrastructure to onshore CO₂ storage facilities, planned to be operational by the end of 2029.
