Nuada Carbon Capture ramps up its carbon emissions reduction activities

Nuada Carbon Capture is intensifying its efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the cement industry, announcing new collaborations with four leading cement companies: Holcim, SCG, Cementos Argos, and Cementos Molins. This move is crucial in addressing the carbon footprint of the cement sector, especially considering that heating limestone during cement production is a significant source of emissions.

Carbon capture technology is essential for the industry to achieve net zero goals, as highlighted in the Global Cement and Concrete Association’s 2050 Net Zero Concrete Roadmap. However, the adoption of this technology faces economic challenges, including high capital costs and energy demands. Over a third of emission reductions required in the cement industry are expected to come from carbon capture.

Dr. Jose Casaban, co-CEO of Nuada, emphasized the importance of innovation in carbon capture to reduce costs, enhance infrastructure development, and improve the economics of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. Nuada aims to revolutionize carbon capture with a solution tailored for sectors like cement that are harder to decarbonize, addressing cost, energy consumption, and integration challenges.

The partnership will see these industry leaders evaluating Nuada’s advanced carbon capture technology to produce low-carbon cement. These collaborations were facilitated through the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), adding to Nuada's existing partnerships with Buzzi Unicem, Cementir Holding, and Heidelberg Materials through the Innovandi Open Challenge program. This initiative unites start-ups and major cement companies to pursue net zero targets.

Nuada, specializing in carbon capture, focuses on decarbonizing heavy industries with innovative point-source capture technology. Their energy-efficient filtration machines aim to minimize the carbon footprint of industrial emitters with minimal financial impact.

Holcim is a worldwide leader in sustainable building solutions, while Cementos Argos is a multinational cement, concrete, and aggregates producer and marketer. Cementos Molins also stands out for its commitment to sustainable building solutions, carbon neutrality, and circular economy. The GCCA, along with its members, represents a significant portion of the global cement production capacity, dedicated to reducing and eventually eliminating CO2 emissions in concrete.

According to the article by Procurement Resource, Nuada Carbon Capture partners with Holcim, SCG, Cementos Argos, and Cementos Molins to decarbonize cement production. Leveraging advanced carbon capture technology, these collaborations aim to reduce emissions in line with the Global Cement and Concrete Association's 2050 Net Zero Roadmap, addressing economic and energy challenges in hard-to-abate sectors.
