EDOMONTON — Heidelberg Materials North America, which is working to select the capture technology and contractor for its Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Project in Edmonton, recently announced a significant milestone in its two-stage competitive procurement process.
Technip Energies has been selected as one of the partners and has been awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the carbon capture technology for the Edmonton CCUS project.
Heidelberg will be commissioning the world’s first net-zero cement plant at its Edmonton location by adding CCUS technology to an existing facility.
The plant will eventually capture and store an estimated one million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, which is the equivalent of taking 300,000 cars off the road annually, states a release. Subject to finalization of federal and provincial funding agreements, the company anticipates carbon capture to begin in late 2026.
“We are pleased to have been selected by Heidelberg Materials North America to provide the FEED of this groundbreaking project in Canada,” said Christophe Malaurie, SVP of decarbonization solutions for Technip Energies, in a statement. “Leveraging our carbon capture solution powered by the Shell CANSOLV CO2 capture system, we are committed to supporting the decarbonization of the cement industry and Heidelberg towards the production of net-zero cement.”
