Holcim in Europe is using Neustark for CO2 removal
Holcim Central Europe West and Swiss newcomer Neustark are jointly commissioning 14 plants for the removal of CO₂ in Switzerland, Germany, Italy and France. Lafarge France, part of the Holcim Group, will use the technology in the Gennevilliers granulats facility, where about 1 kt CO2 per year from biogas plants shall be permanently stored in recycled concrete aggregates (photo: CO2 storage facility at a Holcim location). The companies claim this is a negative CO2 emissions technology (NET). However, this is controversial, because NET CO2 can be achieved from permanent removal of CO2 in the air, but not from industrial plants where CO2 is generated.

India’s UltraTech received CCI notice on planned buyout
India’s leading cement producer UltraTech has received a notice from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) over its proposed buyout of The India Cements Ltd. UltraTech, who is already a 22.77% shareholder of India Cements, had announced earlier this year the intension to acquire a 32.72% stake of India Cements and become a 55.49% majority shareholder of the company (Photo: Sakarnagar cement plant). Anyhow, the CCI has to investigate the case of UltraTech in the fast-growing southern market where India Cements operates, although it is highly competitive and fragmented with more than 35 cement suppliers.
