Carbon capture is becoming a reality in the cement industry with the first carbon captured cement now being available in the UK. This session will describe how carbon is being captured at Heidelberg Materials’ cement works in  Brevik, Norway, and explain how it can contribute to reducing the embodied carbon in concrete.
