Sulzer Chemtech, the leader in separation and mixing technology, is developing an efficient and effective carbon capture unit that will be a key enabler in Blue Planet’s process. With this process the CO 2 footprint of cement in the concrete is more than off-set. Aggregates in concrete are bound together by cement, a significant contributor to global CO 2 emissions (7% as per the International Energy Agency). Aggregate is the main component of concrete (70 – 90%) and the most used building material worldwide. The system mineralizes the CO 2 to form highly sustainable synthetic limestone aggregates by permanently sequestering the CO 2 in a solid form to be incorporated in concrete. These include power, steel, cement, refining, direct air capture and other CO 2 emitting industries.
The ground-breaking process will leverage Sulzer’s carbon reduction technologies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial activities, for example by supporting the cement industry to produce carbon neutral or carbon negative concrete.īlue Planet is developing a profitable and sustainable CCUS system that captures CO 2 from a variety of emission sources.
