STORIES OF MISSION ZERO \u2013 BREVIK NORCEM<\/p>\n<\/div>

A world first in Norway \u2013
\nCCS technology for cement production<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cBrevik Norcem\u201d had already attracted global attention years before its realisation: the plant, which will have been completed in Brevik, Norway, by July 2024, is the world\u2019s first project designed to capture and store carbon dioxide within an existing cement production plant and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions there by 50 %.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Being open to new technologies and solutions for reducing emissions in environmentally harmful industries. This credo is being practised worldwide in the form of various different concepts. Norway is a pioneer in the field of CCS (carbon capture and storage) technology. In 2020, the government gave the go-ahead for the \u201cBrevik Norcem\u201d project, which had been planned for years, and thus paved the way for the construction of the world\u2019s first CCS technology plant in the cement industry. This poses a major challenge for engineers and technicians, because the CCS plant is being built on the site of a cement plant, with production continuing there around the clock. In future, it is planned to capture and store 400,000 tonnes of CO2 every year. A major innovative project with the aim of transporting the first delivery of liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights<\/p>\n

project for permanent storage in July 2024. The Northern Lights project will store emissions deep below the Norwegian seabed.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A key role for the future<\/strong><\/p>\n

This unique project was initiated by a renowned Norwegian corporation and a well-known company that is a subsidiary of the world\u2019s leading building materials group specialising in aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete.
\nThe global building materials group employs around 54,000 people at over 3,000 locations worldwide and is involved in a number of different CO2 reduction initiatives with the aim of supplying climate-neutral concrete by 2050. This major project in Brevik plays a key role for the company, and its success could have a significant impact on the future role of CCS in the cement industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Safe, reliable SE industrial valves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Siekmann Econosto is supplying Brevik with DIN-standard ball valves and butterfly valves for the construction project. The first delivery of valves arrived in Norway in 2022. As a company that is active throughout the world, Siekmann Econosto is known for its highly effective valve solutions and is committed to supporting climate-friendly industrial concepts. True to the company\u2019s motto: \u201cLet`s make new energy sustainable and affordable\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CCS technology in Germany?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world of politics and business is watching Norway with great interest. A successful implementation of the CCS technology plant within a cement production facility and subsequent storage under the seabed could also open the door to CCS technology for Germany. Here, projects involving carbon capture and storage are a controversial issue. Laws and regulations restrict the viability of CCS technology. One of the main risk factors is safety at the final CO2 storage site. The individual federal states are therefore able to prohibit storage within their territories. However, the difficult economic situation and ongoing climate change have led to increased interest in CCS technologies. Additional safety measures and options for carbon capture and utilisation, i.e. the capture and subsequent recycling of CO2, are increasing interest in the possibilities of sustainable use.<\/p>\n<\/div>
