Aalborg Portland has signed an agreement with the Danish Energy Agency to receive a carbon capture subsidy of up to approximately EUR 2.2 billion over 15 years for its ACCSION carbon capture and storage project. The project is expected to capture up to 1.25 million tons of CO₂ annually from 2030 and represents a major step in Cementir Holding’s path toward net-zero emissions.

Cementir inaugurated the second carbon capture pilot plant at its Aalborg cement plant in Denmark which will test a new CCUS technology that can potentially eliminate a significant part of the energy consumption.
