About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
GeZero is a full-chain CCS project at Heidelberg Materials' Geseke cement plant in Germany, featuring a second-generation oxyfuel kiln, air separation unit, and cryogenic processing to capture and store approximately 700,000 tonnes of CO2e annually under the North Sea via rail transport. It incorporates renewables like a solar farm and biomass for net-negative emissions, serving as a CO2 hub for local emitters. The initiative aims to fully decarbonize the plant by 2029, supporting EU climate goals and inland CCS infrastructure.
Statuses, countries and reductions are as the public source states them, and may be out of date.
