Lhoist participates in the decarbonization of the lime industry, particularly through multiple carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects, and by transitionning to low-carbon fuels.
Lhoist, Elengy, GRTgaz, Heidelberg Materials, Lafarge, and TotalEnergies launched the Grand Ouest CO2 (GOCO2 ) decarbonization project. Supported by Pays de la Loire Region and Grand Port Maritime de Nantes Saint-Nazaire, it aims to develop an investment program for capturing CO2 on industrial sites and transporting it by pipeline to the Saint-Nazaire maritime export terminal for permanent geological storage, with an estimated capacity of 2.6 million tons a year by 2030. GOCO2 is an ambitious project to accelerate the decarbonization of industrial sites in western France.
An innovative industrial decarbonization project has been launched to create a net-zero future for the cement and lime industry. Located in the Peak District in northern England, the Peak Cluster project would prevent more than 3 million tons of CO2 emissions each year by 2030.
It was initiated by Lhoist, Tarmac, Breedon, and Aggregate Industries, alongside Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant. The innovative collaboration aims to capture and transport emissions from industrial plants before permanently storing them beneath the Irish Sea. Peak Cluster partners make up 40% of the UK’s cement and lime industry, meaning the project has the potential to significantly reduce the sector’s emissions
