Number 1 in aggregates, number 2 in cement,
and number 3 in ready-mixed concrete
HeidelbergCement
Italcementi
HeidelbergCement and Italcementi

1. Climate change & cement
2. Carbon Capture
3. CO2 utilization
4. Concluding remarks

5. Cement manufacturing explained in 1 minute
Limestone
CaCO3
Calcining to
CaO
Sintering to

Grinding
to cement
1,6 ton limestone
+ 0,1 ton coal
=
1 ton cement
+ 0,8 ton CO2

6. We reached the turning point: coal fired power is out!

7. Mandatory to deploy CCS/CCU to reach our goals!
4 levers to reduce CO2
Energy efficiency 27%
Alternative fuels 19%
Clinker substitution 9%
Carbon Capture & S/U 46%
2016

8. The cement sector will face one of the highest costs for carbon
capture (excluding the power sector)
Iron
&
steel
Cement
500 Mt/y
1.500 Mt/y
70 €/t
40 €/t

9. HeidelbergCement beliefs & strategy (I)
 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is required
for a full de-carbonization of cement industry
 CCS needs financial supporting mechanisms to
be competitive* feasible *imports/steel
 CCS lacking public acceptance in mainland EU,
sufficiently accepted in Scandinavia and Canada
 Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) commercial
today for small high-value-end-products
 CCU potential to significant contribute to CCS/U
targets for cement industry  in focus
Reliable technology
Financially sound
Public acceptance

10. HeidelbergCement beliefs & strategy (II)
 CCS and CCU are mainly in
pre-competitive phase
 HeidelbergCement
encourages and initiates
collective approaches
– within the cement industry
 WBCSD-CSI
 ECRA
– and beyond
 lime-industry
 automotive industry
 start-ups

11. Carbon Capture

12. Large Scale Carbon Capture Norway
 Test program 12 m€ final end 2016
– 75% funding government
– Amine scrubbing most reliable technology
 Feasibility study done
– 40% CO2 capture using waste heat Brevik
– > 100m€ investment needed (+/- 30%)
– OPEX: > 40 €/t clinker
– CO2 from fertilizer industry + refinery will
be combined for shared storage
 Next steps
– Evaluate to which extend Government of
Norway can finance CAPEX and OPEX to
avoid competitive out ruling of Norcem
– Evaluate how much HC can “bare” to
remain competitive
– 1½-2 years to finalize this phase

15. Carbon Capture and Utilization

16. Technology supplier
 Design + supply equipment
 Part of CAPEX
Energy-company
 Construction + Operation
 Power control market
 Part of CAPEX
CO2 and H2 (made by excess renewable energy) to CH4
 CO2-supply
 Electricity supply
 Part of CAPEX
 Owner of the facility
Cement plant HC CO2
Automobile
company
 E-gas offtake
 Status of e-gas
 Marketing of e-gas
cars

17. CCU with cyano bacteria and micro-algae
Modified bacteria to ethanol
Strategic Partnership with Joule Ltd
 Large space
required and solar
radiation
 EU funding not
approved
 Audi cooperation
partner with Joule
 Pilot test possible
in combination
with micro-algae
Microalgae for fish & fowl feed
Sweden & Turkey
 Microalgae are reacting positively to
the flue-gas of cement kilns
 Algal biomass can be a base material
for fishmeal and animal feed

18. Market – interesting for cement-industry
Fishmeal
Partner
2020 commercial
Ethanol as fuel
Partner Joule (+Audi)
2025 commercial

19. Carbon8: carbonating CaO rich ashes to light weight aggregates
Flue gas
20% CO2
85% of flow 15% of flow
CKD, sand
oil shale ash

20. Concluding remarks
 The cement industry set ambitious targets
on CO2 reduction in the CSI-Roadmap 2050
 Carbon Capture requires intensive cooperation
in our industry and HeidelbergCement is
demonstrating leadership in this domain
 In its operations worldwide HC is testing and
developing (commercial) use of CO2 from our
stacks applying various technologies

21. CO2 will become a valuable asset…..
