Facts

Heidelberg Materials has several ongoing projects related to CC(U)S. The project closest to Brevik CCS is Slite CCS in Gotland, Sweden.

Heidelberg Materials Cement Sweden announced its intention to develop a carbon capture plant in Slite on Gotland in 2021.

When the plant is commissioned in 2030 and starts capturing up to 1.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, with an increasing share of bio-based emissions, the plant, which currently accounts for 4% of Sweden's total emissions, could even become a carbon sink.
