evoZero Hits The Market: World’s First Carbon Captured Cement Delivered To Customers Across Europe

Heidelberg Materials has started delivering evoZero, the world’s first near-zero carbon captured cement, to customers across Europe. Based on carbon capture and storage (CCS) at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik plant in Norway, evoZero sets a new benchmark in the decarbonisation of construction. The product comes with a uniquely low Global Warming Potential, delivered via a process that is now fully third-party verified by DNV Business Assurance Germany GmbH and digitally traceable to ensure seamless transparency.

One of the very first deliveries of evoZero supports the construction of the new Skøyen Station in Oslo, Norway, built by Skanska, a leading project development and construction company in Europe and North America. The station will strengthen connectivity between western Oslo and the city center. Situated 45 meters underground, Skøyen Station will offer two tracks and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Once open, it will enhance public transport capacity and integration, reducing car dependency and advancing a more connected Oslo.

Another early evoZero customer is the German 3D-printing project DREIHAUS, which includes three houses currently being developed in Heidelberg. DREIHAUS will serve as a new reference for serial 3D-printed residential construction using sustainable building materials. Compared to traditional methods, the 3D printing process enables significantly reduced material consumption through optimised design, further lowering CO₂ emissions.

The production of clinker under carbon capture conditions, along with the verification of permanently stored CO₂, is independently assured by DNV Business Assurance Germany GmbH. To ensure transparency in tracking and verifying the volumes of permanently stored CO₂, all data is digitally recorded in Heidelberg Materials’ proprietary Carbon Bank.

evoZero is enabled by industrial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik plant in Norway. The Brevik CCS facility was inaugurated in June 2025 and is set to capture 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, or 50% of the plant’s emissions, which are then transported to safe and permanent storage under the North Sea.
