Holcim commissions membrane CCUS unit at Höver in Germany

Holcim has commissioned a membrane-based CO₂ capture demonstration CCUS system at its Höver cement plant close to Hanover in Germany.

The system uses multilayer polymer membranes to separate CO₂ from the plant’s flue gas and shall capture up to 10,000 tpa CO_2.  The demonstration programme is planned for 12 months. When the demonstration is successful, the technology is intended to capture around 90 % of the plant’s 0.5 Mta CO₂ emissions after 2030.
