C-Capture, developers of next generation technology for carbon dioxide removal, has launched a new carbon capture trial in the cement manufacturing sector in partnership with Heidelberg Materials. The trial, which utilizes C-Capture’s innovative solution for industrial decarbonization, is taking place at Heidelberg Material’s cement manufacturing plant in Ketton.

C-Capture announced the start of Europe’s first carbon capture trial on a mainstream flat glass manufacturing plant. The project aims to demonstrate that a low-cost carbon capture solution is a reality for difficult-to-decarbonise industries in the race to net zero.

Northern Gritstone has invested in C-Capture as part of a funding round of up to £10 million alongside existing investors bp Ventures, Drax and Kiko Ventures, with the potential for additional investors to follow.
