HeidelbergCement signed contract with Aker Carbon Capture

Yesterday Norcem AS and Aker Carbon Capture formally signed a series of contracts for delivery of the world’s first carbon capture solution at a cement plant in order to substantially reduce CO2 emissions from the production.

-The collaboration between HeidelbergCement and Aker Carbon Capture dates back to 2011, when we took the first steps on this journey together, said Per Brevik, Director Sustainability at Norcem HeidelbergCement, who has been a driving force behind the project from the outset.

Signing the contract is a key milestone in this project

-The Norwegian government has proposed taking the Brevik project forward, together with the Northern Lights full transport and storage chain. The two companies believe the decision in Parliament will follow that recommendation so the project can start up in early 2021.
Signing the contracts with Aker Carbon Capture represents a key milestone in this project and we are now one step closer to delivering on our commitments", said Giv K. Brantenberg, General Manager HeidelbergCement Northern Europe.
