Following a funding agreement with the UK Government, Heidelberg Materials reached a major milestone by taking the final investment decision for the CCS project at Padeswood, UK. Construction of the project begins this year, with commissioning planned for 2029. The plant shall be equipped with an amine technology and absorber tower for the flue gases to capture 0.8 Mta of CO2, covering nearly all the site’s emissions (we reported here: 12.04.2025, 07.10.2024 and 02.07.2023). The captured carbon will be safely transported for storage under Liverpool Bay as part of the HyNet North West project.
