Brevik CCS

Brevik CCS is a post-combustion carbon capture facility installed at Heidelberg Materials' (formerly Norcem) cement plant in Brevik, Norway, designed to capture up to 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to approximately 50% of the cement plant's emissions. The capture plant uses amine-based post-combustion technology supplied and constructed by SLB Capturi (formerly Aker Carbon Capture), with execution support from Aker Solutions and a cement-plant rebuild by FLSmidth. SLB Capturi reached mechanical completion on December 2, 2024 and the facility moved into commissioning, with operations starting in 2025. The project was partially funded by the Norwegian state, with a state-aid agreement covering communicated cost overruns. Captured CO₂ is liquefied on-site and used in Heidelberg Materials' evoZero net-zero cement product line. Brevik CCS is the first capture project in the Longship CCS value chain, with transport and permanent storage provided by the Northern Lights joint venture (Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies). Liquefied CO₂ is loaded at the Brevik quay, shipped by dedicated CO₂ carrier to Northern Lights' onshore receiving terminal at Øygarden on Norway's west coast near Bergen, then sent by pipeline to a subsea injection well for permanent storage in a saline aquifer approximately 2,600 meters below the seabed in the North Sea.
