Lehigh Cement, the International CCS Knowledge Centre and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group are moving forward with the engineering design for a feasibility study of a carbon capture and storage system at Lehigh’s Edmonton, A.B., Canada plant.
A first for the North American cement industry, the Lehigh CCS feasibility study looks at the viability of capturing 90% to 95% of the carbon dioxide – an estimated 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually – from the cement plant’s flue gas.
