Carmeuse and Holcim Romania have formalized their partnership in Carbon Hub CPT01, Eastern Europe's first large-scale onshore carbon capture and storage project, following Holcim Romania's grant agreement with the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. Funded by the EU Innovation Fund, the Câmpulung-based project will produce approximately 2 million tonnes of near-zero cement and 200,000 tonnes of near-zero lime annually, supporting both companies' net-zero goals and broader European decarbonization policy.
The EPA has approved a permit for One Carbon Partnership to inject and store up to 13.5 million metric tons of CO₂ underground over 30 years at an ethanol facility in Randolph County, Indiana, with monitoring requirements extending 50 years post-injection to protect drinking water sources.
Nikkiso CE&IG supported the commissioning of Deep Sky Alpha in Alberta, Canada’s first operational facility to capture and permanently store atmospheric CO2 in sedimentary formations. The technology-agnostic DAC platform integrates multiple capture systems and is designed to remove up to 3,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, marking a significant step toward the commercialization and industrialization of scalable carbon removal technologies.
Foxconn and Pace CCS have launched a partnership to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology by combining Foxconn’s precision manufacturing expertise with Pace CCS’s specialized design knowledge. The collaboration includes a new laboratory to test a chemical scavenger, already used in other industries, aimed at preventing corrosive reactions in CO₂ streams that can damage CCS infrastructure. Carbon capture is critical to achieving net-zero emissions, with global demand estimated at eight billion metric tons of CO₂ annually, requiring trillions of dollars in investment. Corrosion, erosion, and clogging caused by chemical reactions in CO₂ streams, including the formation of sulfuric and nitric acids, remain key technical challenges for the sector. Matthew Healey, managing director of Pace CCS, said the solution could turn a major technical challenge into a manageable operational expense, accelerating CCS deployment worldwide. Foxconn Chief Environment Officer Ron R. T. Horng added that the collaboration demonstrates how cross-industry partnerships can drive meaningful progress against climate change.
Gevo has named Alex Clayton Chief Carbon Officer as part of its strategic realignment, aiming to expand its voluntary carbon market business. The company’s North Dakota facility produces engineered carbon dioxide removal credits with thousand-year permanence, supporting both emissions reduction and new revenue opportunities.
