A deal has been signed to boost emission reduction projects at Calcinor's lime plants, which could cut emissions by around 900,000 tons of CO2 per year, plus the development of a logistics chain for capturing, transporting, liquefying, storing, and loading the CO2 onto vessels for subsequent use or permanent storage.

The two companies have signed a collaboration agreement to promote carbon footprint reduction projects through the development of a CO2 capture, transmission and storage logistics chain.

Votorantim Cimentos will develop CO2 capture technologies in its cement plants and Enagás will study solutions for its transport, liquefaction, storage and loading onto vessels at its regasification terminals, located in the area of influence of Votorantim Cimentos' plants.
