Heidelberg Materials North America announces a new Front End Engineering Design contract as it continues working to select the carbon capture technology and contractor for providing the CO2 separation solution for its Edmonton, Alberta, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Project.
Australian clean technology developer MCi Carbon held a foundation ceremony on April 10 for its carbon capture and utilization plant ‘Myrtle’, currently under construction at Orica’s Kooragang Island site. The plant is aimed at scaling up the development and demonstration of an engineering process called mineral carbonation, which transforms captured CO2 emissions into building products and other valuable materials.
Amarinth announced its achievement as one of the first organisations to secure the Fit for Hydrogen and Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage certification. The Fit For Hydrogen and Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage certification, modelled on the established Fit For Nuclear standard, assesses a company's readiness to supply the expanding sectors of hydrogen production and carbon capture.
UCLA’s research team is once again at the NCCC to expand on its initial product testing. In addition to the concrete masonry units (CMU) that were successfully demonstrated in 2021, two more use cases – segmental retaining wall (SRW) and concrete manhole (CM) products – will be demonstrated.

Hub of Collaboration
By Chris Gould
Consortium Aims to Bring Direct Air Capture to California California is leading the way in setting ambitious decarbonization goals and driving innovative solutions and cross-sector collaborations to address climate change. To help meet this need, a consortium of more than 40 organizations across industry, technology, academia, national labs, community, government, and labor was formed by Carbon TerraVault Holdings, LLC (CTV), a subsidiary of California Resources Corporation, to pursue Department of Energy (DOE) funding under its Regional Direct Air Capture (DAC) Hubs initiative to create the California DAC Hub, the state’s first full-scale DAC plus storage (DAC+S) network of regional hubs. In August 2023, the consortium was selected to receive $11.8 million in funding from the DOE, the largest amount of funding allocated to a California DAC project through this initiative. The first hub is targeted to launch in Kern County, California and the consortium will look to expand to other locations across the state.

GPI's Carbon Action Alliance Launches to Address Critical Step in Carbon Management Deployment: Education and Public Outreach
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage: Securing North Dakota’s Energy Future Two core economic pillars of North Dakota are the energy and agriculture industries. However, both industries are historically carbon-intensive, meaning that a lot of carbon is generated during specific processes associated with these industries. Managing global carbon emissions is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time. Many scientists are concerned that anthropogenic (human-made) greenhouse gases (GHGs) are affecting Earth’s climate. This concern is driving policies in the United States and around the globe, which are resulting in economic incentives and preferential financing for companies taking action to lower the carbon intensity of the commodities they produce. The challenge is to address anthropogenic GHG emissions while providing access to reliable, affordable, resilient energy and products. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is one of the best technologies to address the challenge to decarbonize these industries while we continue to feed and power the world and grow the economic contributions of these cornerstone industries to our state.
Reliable Measurements Mean New Opportunities for Carbon Capture

According to the National Climate Assessment (NCA), human activities release over 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually. These emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect that is causing temperatures and sea levels to rise as well as a surge in increasingly severe weather events across the globe.
There’s a NEU Path to Carbon Neutral Concrete
By Drew Burns
November 15, 2023
The concrete industry is working to reduce its carbon footprint, but despite the amount of work already accomplished, there is still much to do. In a significant step to help meet carbon reduction goals, the American Concrete Institute (ACI) has established a uniquely positioned center, NEU: An ACI Center of Excellence for Carbon Neutral Concrete.

Expanding the Economy, Reducing Emissions
As Summit Carbon Solutions continues developing the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration project, their vision remains the same – create jobs, boost markets, and permanently store CO2. Summit Carbon Solutions is moving forward with its plan to build the world’s largest carbon capture and sequestration project. This multi-billion dollar investment will connect ethanol biorefineries across five states in the upper Midwest, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota, capture the carbon dioxide emissions from these facilities, compress these gases into a near liquid form, and transport it to North Dakota to be permanently and safely stored more than a mile underground.
