Carbon Clean taps KBR for CO2 capture study at German cement plant
London-based Carbon Clean has hired US engineering group KBR for a front-end engineering design (FEED) study on a carbon capture project at CEMEX's Rudersdorf cement plant in Germany, the companies said on July 19.
The FEED study will cover the project's initial stage, which will deploy Carbon Clean's CycloneCC technology to capture 100 metric tons/day of CO2. This captured CO2 will be combined with green hydrogen to produce synthetic hydrocarbons that can be used in other industries.
"The deep engineering expertise KBR has will help bring Carbon Clean’s innovative technology to life," KBR president for global technology solutions, Jay Ibrahim, said in a statement. "Reaching net zero targets requires expertise from different industries to work together and we make a powerful team. Hopefully, it will be the first of many such projects.”
CEMEX aims to scale up capture to 300 mt/yr by 2026, and eventually 2,000 mt/yr, in order to make the Rudersdorf plant carbon neutral by the end of the decade.
