In January of this year, we announced a joint study with Svante Inc., LafargeHolcim, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, LLC (OLCV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Occidental, and Total, to assess the viability and design of a commercial-scale carbon-capture facility at the Holcim Portland Cement Plant in Florence, Colorado, U.S. where CO2 will be permanently sequestered in depleted Oil &Gas reservoirs
In a clear signal of governmental interest, the project was selected for further development (pre-FEED phase) and received funding from the US Department of Energy to continue with the feasibility study and moving.
At Group level we are currently spearheading over twenty CCUS projects in the US, Canada and Europe to develop a menu of solutions that can be combined in different ways.
