LafargeHolcim

Country:

LafargeHolcim is the global leader in building materials and solutions and active in four business segments: cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete and solutions & products. It is our ambition to lead the industry in reducing carbon emissions and accelerating the transition towards low-carbon construction. With the strongest R&D organisation in the industry and by being at the forefront of innovation in building materials we seek to constantly introduce and promote high-quality and sustainable building materials and solutions to our customers worldwide.

LafargeHolcim is working on a number of CCU/S pilot projects so that it can replicate the best solutions across its 270 sites. Working with other multinationals as well as start-ups, the pilots are evaluated in terms of cost, technical feasibility, compatibility with CO2 usage opportunities and other aspects of viability and scalability. Our objective is to develop a handful of solutions for use and storage that can be combined in different ways and environments. However, no single solution will be perfectly scalable as different environments present different conditions, from local partners to geological conditions that are favourable for storage.

LafargeHolcim is currently spearheading over twenty CCU/S projects in the US, Canada and Europe, placing the company at the forefront of low-carbon construction.
