Look at the decarbonization solutions in the project with Holcim

Infographic describing the transformation cycle project of the Obourg cement plant conducted jointly by Holcim and TotalEnergies to make it a completely carbon-free site.

To achieve this, Holcim will be responsible for capturing and purifying the CO₂ from the cement plant using an air-oxyfuel switchable kiln. Once the CO₂ has been captured, there are two possibilities:

• TotalEnergies will take care of transporting the CO₂ to a new electrolyser. This infrastructure will enable the CO₂ from the cement plant to be converted into green hydrogen.
• The CO₂ is transported and stored by TotalEnergies in a CO₂ storage hub and then in a geological CO₂ storage area in the North Sea.

In addition to producing e-fuel, the electrolyser will also be used to power the cement plant’s air-oxyfuel switchable kiln.

Finally, a new renewable electricity production capacity in the North Sea will supply the cement plant and the new electrolyser with renewable electricity, contributing to the decarbonization of the Olbourg site.
