Heidelberg Materials has started a feasibility study for a decarbonisation project at its Rezzato Mazzano cement plant in the province of Brescia, which could become the first plant in Italy to produce carbon captured Net Zero cement and concrete.
Phase 1 of the Ravenna CCS project is being carried out by a joint venture involving Italian integrated energy company Eni and energy infrastructure operator Snam.
As part of the initiative, Heidelberg Materials will evaluate the feasibility of capturing CO2 from cement production and transporting it via pipeline to the Ravenna CCS storage hub under the Adriatic Sea.
Dr. Dominik von Achten, Chairman of the Managing Board of Heidelberg Materials, said, “Our ambition at Heidelberg Materials is not only to implement a decarbonisation initiative that is highly efficient in terms of resources and energy, but also to provide an important impetus for the development of a regional CCS cluster.”
