Facility will reduce emissions by up to 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually for Heidelberg Materials ― one of the world’s largest building materials companies
OSLO, Norway, December 02, 2024—SLB Capturi has reached a significant milestone of mechanical completion for the carbon capture plant at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway. This plant is the first commercial-scale carbon capture facility at a cement plant, paving the way for the production of net zero cement without compromising strength or quality.

With construction now finished, including the carbon capture system, compression system, heat integration system, intermediate storage, and loadout facilities, the plant is ready for testing and commissioning.
Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi, remarked, “Reaching this milestone is a testament to the power of working together and the collective determination to make a positive climate impact. We look forward to continuing these collaborative efforts as we move toward the commissioning and operational phases of the project. The Brevik CCS plant sets a precedent for future carbon capture initiatives, where learnings and insights from this groundbreaking project enable others to follow.”
Cement production is inherently carbon-intensive, making carbon capture and storage essential to achieving net zero. The Brevik CCS plant is designed to capture up to 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, setting a new standard for decarbonization in the industry. Strong execution support from Aker Solutions and the local industry played a key role in completing construction for this project.
Giv Brantenberg, general manager Northern Europe, Heidelberg Materials, commented, “The mechanical completion of the Brevik CCS project is a landmark achievement in the decarbonization journey of the cement industry. This project exemplifies our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and the pursuit of solutions that address the pressing issue of climate change. We are immensely proud of the dedication and hard work of our teams and partners who have made this possible.”
The Brevik CCS plant is a critical component of The Longship CCS project, Europe’s first full value chain for capturing, transporting, and storing industrial CO2 emissions. With the plant now transitioning to the commissioning phase, operations are expected to commence during 2025.
