Carbon8 Systems, a UK-based company that converts CO2 into high-value, lightweight construction aggregates, has signed a commercial agreement with the Vicat Group cement company.
The agreement signed last week, will see Carbon8 Systems deploy its technology at Vicat’s Montalieu cement plant in southern France next month, helping the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by 2030 and be completely carbon neutral by 2050.
Once complete, the project will be Carbon8 Systems’ first commercial deployment of its CO2ntainer system in Europe and follows successful demonstration projects at cement plants in the UK and Canada.
The CO2ntainer will be deployed directly onsite at Montalieu and integrated into Vicat’s existing industrial processes. It will capture CO2 directly from the plant’s flue gas emissions, which will be used to convert cement bypass dust into lightweight aggregates through the use of Carbon8 Systems’ patented Accelerated Carbonisation Technology (ACT) solution.
