A Belgium-based pilot project that aims to capture 95% of carbon dioxide emissions created during the production of lime cement is set to be completed by 2021. The $24m (€20.8m) Low Emissions Intensity Lime And Cement (LEILAC) facility at HeidelbergCement in Lixhe is being built by a consortium led by Australian firm Calix, which developed the CO2 capture technology planned for the plant. When operational, it is hoped LEILAC will provide a carbon capture and storage roadmap for the cement and lime sectors.
