More<\/strong> carbon into rock:<\/strong> Oman-based 44.01<\/a> and building materials firm Holcim have launched a pilot project to capture and mineralize carbon dioxide from Holcim\u2019s cement plant in Fujairah in what they say is the world\u2019s first initiative to use underground (or in-situ) mineralization to trap cement emissions, according to a statement<\/a>. The facility will capture five tons of CO2 per day from the plant and inject it into peridotite rock formations for permanent storage. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

Details:<\/strong> The project, supported by the Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation, will see Holcim, 44.01, NT Energies, and Shell Catalysts & Technologies deploy Shell\u2019s Cansolv<\/a> carbon capture system, the statement says.<\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> Holcim UAE<\/a> is the new outfit of Lafarge Emirates Cement, which rebranded last month to support the company\u2019s sustainable construction plans and align with the UAE\u2019s Net Zero 2050 vision, Gulf Business<\/a> reported. The firm operates a 3.2 mtpa<\/a> cement production plant in Fujairah.<\/p>\n

Expanding the footprint: <\/strong>Adnoc and 44.01 are also expanding<\/a> their carbon-to-rock project in Fujairah after successfully mineralizing 10 tons of CO2 into rock formations in Fujairah in under 100 days last year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
