Technip Energies announces it has been awarded a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract by Heidelberg Materials North America for its Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) project in Edmonton, Canada. This ground-breaking project will be the first full-scale application of CCUS in the cement sector.
The FEED contract covers the carbon capture technology for the Edmonton CCUS project. Powered by the Shell CANSOLV® CO2 capture system, the Technip Energies solution Canopy by T.ENTM, which will be the basis of the FEED study, offers cutting-edge performance based on regenerable amine technology.
This solution is part of Capture.Now, a strategic platform that brings under one umbrella all Technip Energies’ Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies and solutions needed to support customers on their decarbonization journey.
Christophe Malaurie, SVP of Decarbonization Solutions, Technip Energies, commented: “We are pleased to have been selected by Heidelberg Materials North America to provide the front-end engineering and design of this groundbreaking project in Canada. 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.”
Joerg Nixdorf, Vice President Cement Operations, Northwest Region for Heidelberg Materials North America, stated: “We are excited to take this latest step in our journey to produce the world’s first net zero cement. With each milestone we come closer to realizing our vision of leading the decarbonization of the cement industry.”
Heidelberg Materials North America will be commissioning the world’s first net-zero cement plant at its Edmonton location by adding CCUS technology to an already state-of-the-art facility. The plant will eventually capture and store an estimated 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, which is the equivalent of taking 300,000 cars off the road annually. Subject to finalization of federal and provincial funding agreements, the company anticipates carbon capture to begin in late 2026.
