Lhoist is studying a large-scale decarbonization project aimed at achieving CO₂ capture and storage at Europe’s largest lime plant in Flandersbach, Germany, targeting more than one million tons of CO₂ emissions per year through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
The project considers retrofitting existing kilns with Air Liquide’s Cryocap™ CO2 capture technology and building new oxyfuel lime kilns, which reduce energy consumption and increase capture efficiency. The captured CO2 would be liquefied and transported by rail, ship, or pipeline to storage sites in the North Sea.
Everest is supported by the EU Innovation Fund Large Scale. Partners include Air Liquide and engineering consultants.
