Heidelberg Materials has introduced evoZero®, a cement that achieves its net-zero footprint by the application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at their plant in Brevik, Norway, without compensation from credit outside its value chain. Once operational the plant will capture and store 400,000 tonnes of CO2 per year (50% of the plant’s emissions). Blockchain technology is used to ensure that customers can verify that their supply is net-zero. The chemical composition of the cement and performance is unaffected.
