Holcim’s 'Carbon2Business' scheme at its Lägerdorf plant is part of the Westküste 100 CCUS project that will use the oxyfuel process to capture 1Mta of CO 2 from 2029 to supply the chemical industries. CEMEX Rüdersdorf is planning to produce jet fuel from its 100tpd CCU plant with Carbon Clean and KBR, before scaling up to capture 2000tpd of CO 2. Dyckerhoff ( Buzzi Unicem) is working with Advanced Indirectly Heated Carbonate Looping Process to install the ANICA pilot plant at its Göllheim plant in Germany. Germany is already piloting several CCU projects for the cement sector. While end use of the captured carbon has been identified for these projects, the growing number of steel, cement and lime plants seeking end-markets for captured CO 2 is expected to rise. Similarly, the Catch4climate project at Schwenk Zement's Mergelstetten cement plant is on schedule to be commissioned in mid-2024 and the captured carbon will be used for the production of 'reFuels', a synthetic fuel for air travel. A second CCU plant at the site is already being planned. The cement plant aims to be climate neutral by 2038 when it targets to capture 1500tpd of CO 2. This looks particularly true of the Rohrdorfer project that started its carbon capure and utilisation (CCU) facility this month and intends to use the captured carbon in the food sector. Positive announcements from the Catch4climate initiative and the ANDRITZ-led Rohrdorfer CCUS project, indicate that Germany is well advanced in its plans to decarbonise its cement sector. However, there is a concern about adequate underground storage of captured CO 2 being available and the need for cross-border transportation to make Germany's net-zero aspirations become a reality. Progress is underway with cement industry CCUS projects at Mergelstetten and Rohrdorf featuring in the news. The German government has targeted net zero to be reached in 2045 and the cement sector is expected to play an important part in this drive.
