CCUS: Decarbonizing the cement industry

CONTACT US

Laying the foundations for a net zero future with carbon capture

We can’t get to net zero without laying the foundations first. For the cement industry, this means accelerating the deployment of CCUS in existing and future operations.

From first of a kind facilities to groundbreaking projects. We provide sustainable solutions and expert insights across the entire CCUS value chain. And as a global partner, we help our customers around the world conquer the complexities of CCUS.

Scaling CCUS for your business

In this report, we explore the role of CCUS in meeting net zero targets. With expert insights and data analysis into the factors driving CCUS investments, the significance of standardization, and the challenges to overcome in delivering more cost effective and efficient large scale CCUS projects.

Absorption (post‑combustion)
We have experience with several mature and emerging post-combustion technologies. From open-art amines and proprietary solvents to capture processes such as Shell CANSOLV and Mitsubishi KM‑CDR.

Absorption (pre‑combustion)
We’re working with mature and emerging technologies such as Selexol, BASF OASE White. While expanding our working knowledge of other technologies such as Propylene carbonate.

Adsorption
We are evaluating solid-based CO2 capture technologies and have project experience with Svante as an emerging technology in this space.

Physical solvent
We’re working with Air Liquide’s technology Lurgi Rectisol™ on one of our active projects.

Oxy combustion
We’re experienced in natural gas and coal-fired power, and chemical sectors. From demo to large scale projects, we offer concept development, techno-economic evaluation, and engineering for up to 550 MWe plants.

Cryogenic
We have experience with mature technologies such as Air Liquide and UOP Honeywell. While expanding our working knowledge of technologies like Chart SES technology.

Other technology types
We’re working with and exploring various mature and emerging technologies. Including MTR and Compact Membrane Systems, calcium looping, biological with microalgae.

The right support, at every stage

We understand the challenges the cement industry is facing when it comes to implementing CCUS. Whether it’s prioritizing the decarbonization of assets, weighing up CAPEX and OPEX decisions, debating technology selections, comparing infrastructure options, or navigating global policies.

From concept to execution

Our customers benefit from a full value chain experience and an integrated service for consulting, engineering, fabrication and construction.

Technology neutrality and diversity

Our technology-neutral position enables independent and impartial technology assessment, integration, and implementation.

Global experience, delivered locally

With over 100 CCUS subject matter experts and six CCUS communities of excellence around the world, we offer global experience with local expertise.

We implement a broad range of carbon capture solutions, ranging from pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion, direct air capture, and other emerging technologies.

As a technology-neutral partner, we:

  • help to identify the most suitable technology based on our customers' unique operational processes, emission profiles, available utilities, and regulatory landscape
  • assess the technical feasibility and commercial viability of each technology, considering factors such as cost, efficiency, and scalability
  • provide an overview of the CCUS technology landscape, including mature and emerging technologies
  • actively support the development and commercialization of emerging technologies and ensure that our customers have access to the latest advancements.

And with over 50 years of cross sector experience, our global teams have the skillsets and experience to work with and advise on all types of flue gasses.

We help our customers better understand their carbon capture utilization (CCU) opportunities and advise on the best carbon management and technology selection options suited to them.

We work across the entire utilization value chain. Whether it's monetization, use of CO2 streams or speed to market and project delivery certainty for lower carbon fuels producers and technology developers.

And we help our customers scale up their CCUS projects. From first of a kind projects and developing new solutions to pilot testing and exploring the viability of full scale commercial implementation.

With our legacy experience in gas processing, we’ve worked on some of the largest CO2 compression and transportation projects executed in the world. We understand the complex behavior of CO2, dehydration and compression, onshore and offshore pipelines.

We work on the most suitable technical and economic options for our customer’s decarbonization projects.

The permanent storage of CO2 is a critical component in the net zero scenario. Drawing on our experience in conventional energy and subsurface technologies, we advise and evaluate the attractiveness and commercial viability of storage opportunities available for our customers.
