The Brevik CCS project is the world's first industrial-scale carbon capture plant at a cement facility. The project is part of the Norwegian Government's Longship initiative, which aims to develop a full value chain for the capture, transport, and storage of CO₂ from various sources in continental Europe.

SLB Capturi, in collaboration with Heidelberg Materials, has developed a full-scale carbon capture, conditioning, compression, heat integration, intermediate storage, and loading facility for the Brevik cement plant, based on the Big Catch™ carbon capture plant concept. The capacity of the carbon capture plant corresponds to approximately half of the annual CO₂ emissions from the Brevik plant.

CO₂ is captured from the flue gases of the cement kiln using waste heat recovered from the cement plant and the CO₂ compression plant through proprietary heat integration technology. Captured CO₂ is temporarily stored on-site before being transported to Øygarden, then piped for permanent storage beneath the North Sea.

The plant reached mechanical completion in December 2024 and is currently in the commissioning phase. In May 2025, the facility successfully captured, liquefied, and stored its first 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ as part of its ramp-up phase. Full operations are set to begin in 2025.

When operational, the carbon capture plant will capture 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, enabling the production of net-zero cement.
