TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and Holcim in
Belgium have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work
together on the full decarbonization of a cement production
facility being upgraded by Holcim in Obourg, Belgium. Various
energies and technologies will be assessed for the efficient
capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) of around 1.3
million metric tons of CO(2) emitted by the facility every
year.
Each partner will contribute its best-in-class technologies and
its know-how to explore and develop the project, including:
-- an innovative new air-oxyfuel switchable kiln, to facilitate the capture
and purification of CO2 in the flue gases, as part of Holcim's upgrade of
the current cement plant; and
-- the transportation and use of the captured CO2 by TotalEnergies for an
innovative e-fuel producing scheme and/or deposit in geological storage
in the North Sea.
TotalEnergies will assess the development of renewable projects
to power a new electrolyzer, which would generate the green
hydrogen needed to produce e-fuels. This new renewable energy
production capacity would also power Holcim's new oxyfuel kiln,
thus contributing to the decarbonization of the cement plant.
Finally, the oxygen emitted by the electrolyzer would be used to
fuel the new kiln.
"The unique, integrated and sustainable solution that we are
looking to provide to Holcim for the full decarbonization of its
cement plant emissions -- with its range of technologies and new
decarbonized molecules -- is a first, marking a milestone in the
decarbonization of heavy industry and its hard-to-abate emissions.
We are pleased to partner with Holcim to work on the development of
sustainable and carbon neutral industries in Europe, in partnership
with our clients and in line with their decarbonization strategy,"
said Christophe Sassolas, Senior Vice President, OneB2B Solutions
at TotalEnergies. "TotalEnergies is looking forward to deploying
other integrated solutions like this one elsewhere, as we move
toward reducing our scope 3 emissions, in line with our Climate
Ambition to get to Net Zero emissions by 2050, together with
society."
"Cement industry decarbonization is extremely challenging
because of the process's inevitable CO(2) emissions, which put us
firmly in the hard-to-abate sector. CCUS is vital for Obourg to
become the first net carbon neutral clinker plant in northwest
Europe. We are very happy to work with TotalEnergies to accelerate
the development of these CCUS solutions for GO4ZERO. By joining the
first movers, we want to set the standards for future clinker
manufacturing plants," said Bart Daneels, CEO, Holcim Belgium.
