The UK Government funds a CCS facility at Padeswood, capturing 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, operational by 2029, boosting net-zero cement production and local jobs.

CO2 is transported from a cement factory, injected into a North Sea reservoir. Phase 1 is complete; Phase 2 will expand capacity to 5 mtpa, supported by a European grant.

The facility uses recycled concrete paste to lower CO₂ emissions, serving as a model for global projects, and is part of the Carbon4Minerals initiative.

Brevik CCS in Norway captures 400,000 tonnes CO₂ annually, enabling net-zero concrete. Part of Norway's Longship project, it sets a blueprint for future CCS initiatives.

The project integrates carbon capture at a cement plant, aiming to store 700,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually in the North Sea. Construction starts in 2026, with commissioning in 2029.

The Padeswood CCS project will capture and store up to 800,000 tons of CO2 annually, starting in 2028, as part of the HyNet CCUS cluster to support the UK's net zero carbon goal by 2050.

The UK aims to create a competitive carbon capture market by 2035, boosting the economy by £5 billion annually by 2050, supporting 50,000 jobs by 2030, and storing 20-30 million tonnes of CO2 per year.

The facility will capture and reuse 70,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, supported by €15M from BMWK, enhancing CO₂ supply for food and chemical industries. Operations start in 2025.

Norway funds carbon capture studies aiming for operational plants by 2022. Aker Solutions' technology, tested in Brevik, will be used. Studies to complete by September, with FEED work until mid-2018.
