Heidelberg Materials delivers world's first near-zero carbon captured cement

German cement producer Heidelberg Materials has started delivering what it calls the world's first near-zero carbon captured cement to customers across Europe, the company said in a statement Oct. 17.

The deliveries are sourced from the company's Brevik carbon capture and storage facility in Norway, inaugurated in June 2025.

The site is designed to capture around 400,000 mt/year of CO2, equivalent to 50% of the plant's total emissions, for permanent offshore storage beneath the North Sea, Heidelberg Materials said.

"I am proud and excited to announce that the entire process chain is now established," CEO Dominik von Achten said. "Our Brevik CCS facility is directly contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions in the built environment."

The company's evoZero cement is among the first products to be delivered under this initiative. Early shipments are supporting the construction of Oslo's new Skøyen Station, while another early customer, the DREIHAUS 3D-printing housing project in Heidelberg, Germany, is using evoZero in the development of three printed homes.

"By adopting evoZero, our customers can turn sustainability into a real competitive advantage and demonstrate leadership in the transition to CO2-reduced construction," Jon Morrish, member of the managing board responsible for Europe, said.

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, assessed the CEMDEX Turkey price at $55/mt FOB Oct. 16.
