EU Backs Pioneering CO2 Capture Project at Cemex’s Rüdersdorf Cement Plant

A consortium comprised of Cemex and Linde, a leading global
industrial gases and engineering company, has been selected to
receive €157 million in funding from the EU Innovation Fund for a
pioneering CO2 capture project at Cemex’s Rüdersdorf Cement Plant
in Germany.
The project, Cemex’s largest planned Carbon Capture Use and
Storage (CCUS) project to date, aims to capture 1.3 million metric
tons of CO2 per year from Rüdersdorf’s cement production,
ultimately decarbonizing the site by 2030.
“Our Future in Action climate action strategy is working hard to
drive several revolutionary CCUS projects across our global
operations,” said Sergio Menéndez, President of Cemex Europe,
Middle East, Africa & Asia. “While we are working hard to
decarbonize using existing technology (“reduce before capture”), an
important component of our Future in Action strategy is to develop
breakthrough decarbonization solutions for our industry to reach
Net Zero. This project is one of those tools. The Rüdersdorf
project is Cemex’s largest CCUS project to date, with all the
hallmarks and credentials to make a significant contribution to the
decarbonisation of the cement industry.”
At Rüdersdorf, Linde’s pioneering HISORP®, CO2 capture
technology will be deployed for the first time in a unique
state-of-the-art cryogenic-adsorptive process that captures CO2
from the exhaust gas directly at the emission source. The raw CO2
is then compressed and liquefied so that it meets the purity
requirements for subsequent sequestration. Finally, the liquid CO2
product will be transported by rail to an intermediate CO2 Hub and
shipped to an offshore storage site in the North Sea for permanent
storage.
The environmental credentials of this full chain CCUS project at
Rüdersdorf will be further enhanced and supported by the regional
generation of green electricity and the recycling of water obtained
from the condensation of exhaust gases.
CCUS is part of the roadmap for Future in Action, Cemex's
sustainability and decarbonization program, with the primary
objective of becoming a net-zero CO2 company by 2050. Through
Future in Action, Cemex has achieved record-breaking progress in
reducing its carbon footprint since its launch in 2020.
