Heidelberg Materials intends to build a unique and innovative hybrid carbon capture unit at its Antoing plant. The so-called Anthemis project (standing for: Antoing Heidelberg Materials Emissions Integrated Solution).
From 2029, 800.000 tons of CO₂ will be captured every year. Heidelberg Materials Antoing will therefore produce clinker (the raw material used to manufacture cement) with a net-zero CO₂ footprint through carbon sequestration.
Thanks to Anthemis, Heidelberg Materials will be able to provide more than 15 million tons of net-zero CO₂ cement to the construction market during the first ten years of the project operation.
Climate change: we're part of the solution
To prevent global climate change, we need to reduce CO₂ emissions. CCS - Carbon Capture & Storage - is a strategic technology for decarbonizing sectors that inevitably emit large quantities of CO₂.
The Anthemis project is an essential contribution to Belgium's transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions. It is perfectly in line with the carbon-neutral objectives that Europe wants to achieve by 2050.
