Leilac-2

The LEILAC2 project is a European pilot to decarbonize cement and lime, which produce ~8% of global CO₂ emissions. Building on LEILAC1, it will scale capture from 5% to ~20% of a plant’s process emissions, using a modular, low-energy design that can be retrofitted. A demonstration unit beside an operating cement plant will capture 100,000 tonnes of pure CO₂ annually, with options for use or storage. Backed by €19 million from industry partners, LEILAC2 will also test renewable-ready fuel flexibility and help establish a European CO₂ hub.
