EDMONTON – Heidelberg Materials North America recently announced it has awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for its Edmonton carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) project.
MHI-LCSC, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) Group, and Kiewit have been awarded the FEED contract. A study will leverage MHI’s proprietary Advanced KM CDR Process™ developed jointly with the Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., which uses the KS-21™ solvent, a release said.
“We are pleased with this latest step in advancing our Edmonton project and moving even closer to our goal of delivering the first full-scale application of CCUS in the cement sector. This latest development represents meaningful progress on the path to achieving a net-zero future,” said Heidelberg Materials North America northwest region vice-president of cement operations Joerg Nixdorf in a statement.
Heidelberg aims to commission the first full-scale net-zero cement plant at its Edmonton location by adding carbon capture, utilization and storage to an existing facility.
“Heidelberg Materials is taking a major step towards decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries by deploying innovative and effective carbon capture technology. We are proud to be a part of this project and to support Heidelberg Materials on this important journey,” Kiewit vice-president Rob Medley added.
MHI Group has been developing the KM CDR ProcessTM (Kansai Mitsubishi Carbon Dioxide Recovery Process) and the Advanced KM CDR ProcessTM in collaboration with the Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. since 1990 and as of April 2024 has delivered 16 plants adopting the KM CDR ProcessTM, with two more currently under construction, the release said.
“We are honoured and excited to be a part of this collaboration with Heidelberg Materials, together with Kiewit, for this pioneering project which will play an important role in realizing a carbon-neutral society. Canada is recognized as a frontrunner in deployment of carbon capture and storage enabled by its public policy and partnerships with businesses, which are critical to the success of decarbonization,” MHI-LCSC president Kosuke Kasada said.
