The first 1,000 metric tons of CO₂ have been successfully captured, liquefied, and temporarily stored at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway.
This achievement demonstrates the potential for large-scale industrial decarbonization through carbon capture and storage.
The success of this Big Catch™ carbon capture plant is the result of a long-standing collaboration between Heidelberg Materials and SLB Capturi. From pilot testing utilizing the mobile test unit (MTU), leading up to the project award for delivering the carbon capture plant as part of Longship, the Norwegian government's full-scale CCS value chain project. The plant reached mechanical completion in December 2024, and this first captured CO₂ marks the ramp-up towards the design capacity of 400,000 metric tons of CO₂ captured annually.

The installation of cutting-edge carbon capture technology at the 100-year-old Brevik facility has been a complex operation, meticulously executed without interrupting daily cement production.
Egil Fagerland, chief executive officer of SLB Capturi
This milestone is not just about technology; it is about collaboration, perseverance, and setting a new standard for industrial decarbonization. I am grateful for the outstanding teamwork between Heidelberg Materials and SLB Capturi and the strong execution support from Aker Solutions and local industry. Together, we are proving that large-scale decarbonization is possible.
With the carbon capture plant and the full value chain of transport and storage in operation later this year, the production of the world’s first carbon-captured cement is enabled, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in the industry.
