It’s all thanks to our 70,000 talented people around the world who are passionate about building progress for people and the planet through four business segments: Cement, Ready-Mix Concrete, Aggregates and Solutions & Products.

OVERVIEW

Holcim announced in September 2020 the Net Zero Pledge, i.e. meet the 1.5 C target in alignment with SBTi. CO2 Capture is an important leg of this journey. We have to further develop various Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies with the objective of having 2030 economically viable solutions at industrial scale. CCUS plays an important role with more than 50 projects being worked on currently and still increasing. Holcim is not focusing on a single technology and solution; the scope is quite broad, involving several people at local, regional and corporate level. In order to develop and manage CCUS project and give best support to the countries in integrating new technologies & concepts in the cement manufacturing environment, technical activities need to be coordinated amongst various players.

  • You support the plant with regards to future operations preparation (SOP elaboration, HSE plans, maintenance plans, capital spare parts selection, …) by defining the key principles and guidelines with regards to carbon capture operation.
