Heidelberg Materials is advancing its shift toward low-carbon construction through large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCUS) projects. A key initiative in Edmonton is slated for commissioning in late 2026, aiming to reduce process emissions from clinker production. While the company is investing in alternative fuels and low-clinker cements, the broader industry faces a steep climb. Current estimates suggest CCUS will cover less than 2% of global cement emissions by 2035, highlighting the significant capital and policy support needed for full-scale industrial decarbonization.
