CCUS: A GAME-CHANGER FOR MEETING CLIMATE GOALS

What exactly is carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), how does it work and how can different CCUS technologies help us reach global climate goals?

GO4ZERO, A MILESTONE IN OUR CCUS JOURNEY

Holcim marked a key decarbonization milestone in May, as we broke ground on our GO4ZERO carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at our plant in Obourg, Belgium. The ceremony was attended by special guests such as Alexander de Croo, Prime Minister of Belgium.

This follows the groundbreaking ceremony to launch our Carbon2Business project in Lägerdorf, Germany which will be one of the first climate-neutral cement plants in the world in 2028.

How can architects respond to the climate challenge?

We caught up with Chris Cooper, Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), to see how he and his colleagues are addressing this topic.
