About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

CLEANKER is a Horizon 2020 project that demonstrates the integrated Calcium Looping (CaL) process for CO2 capture in cement production at TRL7. The project constructed and operated a demonstration plant at the Buzzi Unicem cement facility in Vernasca, Italy, capturing CO2 from a portion of the flue gas using the plant's raw meal as the sorbent, targeting over 90% capture efficiency. Following inauguration in October 2020 and testing campaigns, the project achieved its objectives and concluded in 2023.

Statuses, countries and reductions are as the public source states them, and may be out of date.
