Cryogenic capture of CO2 in large scale clinker production - IDENTIFIED BY INCITE
he CryocapClinker technology is a solution designed to address the significant carbon dioxide emissions associated with clinker production in the cement industry. Leveraging the principles of cryogenic distillation, this system effectively isolates and captures CO2 from the high-temperature flue gases emitted during the cement manufacturing process.
Key Features:
Cryogenic Capture: Utilizes advanced refrigeration to cool flue gases to cryogenic temperatures, where CO2 condenses into a liquid or solid state, allowing for efficient separation from other gases.
High Purity Output: Achieves a high level of CO2 purity, making the captured gas suitable for utilization in various applications or for sequestration with minimal additional processing.
Energy Integration: Integrates with the cement plant's existing energy systems to optimize thermal efficiency and minimize the overall energy footprint of the capture process.
Enhanced Sustainability: Significantly reduces the carbon footprint of clinker production, contributing to the cement industry’s transition towards more sustainable practices and compliance with global environmental standards.
Seamless Retrofitting: Designed to be retrofitted into existing cement plants, providing a scalable solution for reducing emissions without the need for extensive modifications to current operations.

Project
Carbon Capture and Storage project in Kujawy Cement Plant in Poland
The Go4ECOPLANET project aims to fully decarbonise cement production at the Lafarge (Holcim Group member) plant in Kujawy (Poland) and thus to contribute to decarbonising the construction industry. The project involves a globally-unique technology for capturing and liquefying CO2. The solution will capture 100% of the plant’s CO2 emissions, which will be transported to storage areas in the North Sea. The project is a key part of Holcim Group’s decarbonisation roadmap to meet its Net Zero Pledge. Negative emissions linked to the fuel containing biogenic carbon (considered as carbon neutral) allows the project to obtain 105% relative greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoidance compared to the reference scenario.
