Leilac-2

Location:

Hanover, Germany

Commencement date:

2020

Targeted CO2 capture capacity:

100,000 tpa

Current status:

Approved financial investment decision. Currently progressing through detailed engineering.  Construction commencing in 2023.

Project features

  • Scalable and modular design will be retrofitted into the Heidelberg Materials (formerly HeidelbergCement) plant with low-impact integration into the host plant’s operations.
  • Aims to investigate the use of alternative and renewable fuel sources.
  • The project will validate: the anticipated capital and operational expenditure for full scale application; a modular design for scale-up; operability and maintenance details; and integration and plant layout considerations.
  • In addition to demonstration of the main technology targets, the project includes analysis of the potential destination of the captured CO₂. While there are no current plans to actually store or use the CO₂ from Leilac-2, this analysis will enable a better understanding of the potential uses or safe geological storage options.
