LafargeHolcim finds partners for CO2 capture
LafargeHolcim and Schlumberger New Energy are jointly exploring the feasibility of capturing CO2 from two LafargeHolcim cement plants in Europe and North America. The Schlumberger technologies for CO2 sequestration are supposed to help.
The building materials group LafargeHolcim and the Texan Schlumberger New Energy want to find a solution for capturing and storing CO2 using the example of two LafargeHolcim cement plants. Using Schlumberger's CO2 sequestration technologies, the two companies plan to develop a concept for large-scale industrial use. The companies will provide information about this in a press release of the same name.
Both are already active in this field. LafargeHolcim claims that it is currently testing more than 20 capture projects in Europe and North America. The group wants to identify the most promising, highly scalable projects. Schlumberger New Energy is working with leading companies in a number of strategic sectors to demonstrate potential solutions in a variety of projects.
"Our partnership with Schlumberger, the world's leading technology provider for the global energy industry, will bring new advances in storage," said Magali Anderson, sustainability officer at LafargeHolcim. "These should then be replicated on a large scale at our locations."
