Germany, Sehnde: Cool Planet Technologies Limited announced that Holcim Germany received funding to construct a carbon capture demonstration plant using CPT’s membrane technology.
Cool Planet Technologies Limited (CPT), a company using advanced membrane carbon capture technology, announced that Holcim Germany has received funding approval from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) towards the construction of a carbon capture demonstration plant using CPT’s membrane technology.
At the core of the cooperation between the two companies is the construction of a 10,000 tons per annum CO2 capture plant based on CPT’s innovative membrane capture process.
The chemical-free process uses significantly less energy than established carbon capture technologies and can be powered entirely from renewable electrical power, making it an environmentally friendly technology choice.
The demonstration facility will have a one-year active test phase, during which the innovative technology will be investigated in long-term commercial operation. If the long-term test phase is successful, the plant would be gradually expanded so that after the final expansion stage the plant can separate around 90 per cent of the CO2 emissions from the Höver cement plant.
Andrew Corner, CPT’s Managing Director said: “We are delighted that Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action has approved the grant funding to Holcim for the Demonstration plant at Höver. Construction of the demonstration plant is about to start, and we look forward to continuing our work with Holcim and the team at Höver and helping them to meet their decarbonisation objectives and further proving up the commerciality of our membrane capture technology.”
